convert artboard to a group of layers

[jeva72]

Is there an easy and simple way?

[Trevor.Dennis]

Layer > Ungroup Artboards

Or you can create files with:

File > Export > Artboards to files

For extendscript:

var idungroupLayersEvent = stringIDToTypeID( "ungroupLayersEvent" );
    var desc241 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref1 = new ActionReference();
        var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
        var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
        var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
        ref1.putEnumerated( idLyr, idOrdn, idTrgt );
    desc241.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
executeAction( idungroupLayersEvent, desc241, DialogModes.NO );

Or:

ungroupLayersEvent();

function ungroupLayersEvent() {
	var c2t = function (s) {
		return app.charIDToTypeID(s);
	};
	var s2t = function (s) {
		return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
	};
	var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
	var reference = new ActionReference();
	reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "layer" ), s2t( "ordinal" ), s2t( "targetEnum" ));
	descriptor.putReference( c2t( "null" ), reference );
	executeAction( s2t( "ungroupLayersEvent" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );
}

Or:

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("ungroupLayersEvent"));
