How to get artboard properties in photoshop CC 2015?

[_VG]

There is a new feature in Photoshop CC 2015 to create the multiple artboards in the same document.

I want to get the properties of artboards like x, y, height etc. Is it possible to fetch the artboard details from the script?

Thanks.

Thank you for pointing me in right direction.

Also maybe this helps:

// 2015, use it at your own risk;
#target "photoshop-90.032"
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var theArtboards = getArtboardStuff();
alert (theArtboards.join("\n"));
};
////////////////////////////////////
function getArtboardStuff () {
var originalRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
// the file;
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
// get number of layers;
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
var applicationDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
var theNumber = applicationDesc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("numberOfLayers"));
// process the layers;
var theLayers = new Array;
for (var m = 0; m <= theNumber; m++) {
try {
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), m);
var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
// if artboard;
if (layerDesc.getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("artboardEnabled")) == true) {
var artBoardRect = layerDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("artboard")).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("artboardRect"));
var theName = layerDesc.getString(stringIDToTypeID('name'));
var theID = layerDesc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('layerID'));
theLayers.push([theName, theID, [artBoardRect.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("left")), artBoardRect.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("top")), artBoardRect.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("right")), artBoardRect.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("bottom"))]])
};
}
catch (e) {};
};
////////////////////////////////////
app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
return theLayers
};

I've been testing things with artboard. I am creating a LayerSet outside the Artboard, but when I create a line (using Action Manager code) after selecting the LayerSet. LayerSet automatically move to the Artboard.

Is there any way to avoid this case? I don't want LayerSet to move to the ArtBoard.

Thanks for any help

Is there any way to turn off the "autoNestEnabled" property of artboard?

Does this work?

// =======================================================

var ideditArtboardEvent = stringIDToTypeID( "editArtboardEvent" );

    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );

        var ref2 = new ActionReference();

        var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );

        var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );

        var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );

        ref2.putEnumerated( idLyr, idOrdn, idTrgt );

    desc3.putReference( idnull, ref2 );

    var idautoNestEnabled = stringIDToTypeID( "autoNestEnabled" );

    desc3.putBoolean( idautoNestEnabled, false );

executeAction( ideditArtboardEvent, desc3, DialogModes.NO );

Thanks a ton. It's working.
