I'm reposting this as a standalone post to make it easier for anyone to find and use.   A user asked in this thread about a keyboard shortcut to zoom to a selected object in Adobe Illustrator the way many 3D drawing tools can. Of course, Illustrator will zoom toward/away from a selected object using CMD/CTRL plus/minus, which is what I initially told the original poster. I learned that wasn't as convenient as the OP wanted, so I built the way they wanted.   Using my below script you can... zoom Illustrator's view port directly to any selected object,  whether that object is in view or not,  whether you're already zoomed to Fit to Artboard, 64,000%, or any other zoom level.   And, you can assign the function a keyboard shortcut to make it work as easily as CMD+0/CTRL+0.   Thanks to @RP_Schmidt for giving me an interesting challenge to solve, especially since JavaScript programming is decidedly not my forte.   ---------------------------------------- Zoom to Selected Object in Adobe Illustrator Version 1.0 | 2025-04-06 by Pariah Burke, Adobe Community Professional, https://iampariah.com   First, download the script and the installation instructions, then follow the below (or included) instructions to add it to Illustrator and to bind it to a keyboard shortcut:   This script centers the view on the currently selected object(s) and adjusts the zoom so that the selection fits within the active artboard.   ---------------------------------------- Installation ---------------------------------------- For Mac   Install the Script Move the Script: Place the PSBZoomToSelected.jsx file into the Illustrator Scripts folder located at: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator 2025/Presets.localized/en_US/Scripts (Adjust the language folder if needed.)
