### New Document profiles
|
||||
|
||||
Each built-in category (Mobile, Web, Print, Film & Video, Art & Illustration, Branding, Social) has a New Document
|
||||
profile: a native document that holds the starting assets and settings of the documents made from that category's
|
||||
presets ([Create a custom new document profile](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/add-and-import-files/start-a-new-file/create-a-custom-new-document-profile.html)).
|
||||
`file.new` copies the profile's swatches, swatch groups, graphic styles, brushes, symbols, patterns, character and
|
||||
paragraph styles, composite fonts, SVG filters, graph designs, ruler origin and ruler mode, transparency grid, Document
|
||||
Setup options, assigned color profiles, Document Raster Effects Settings other than the resolution, and print settings
|
||||
into the new document. The preset's size, units, artboards, bleed, background, color mode, raster effects resolution
|
||||
and Align New Objects to Pixel Grid still apply. The profile's art, layers and artboards are not copied: the document
|
||||
starts with one empty layer. The grid comes from Preferences › Guides & Grid, as it does for every document. When the
|
||||
preset's color mode differs from the profile's, the profile's colors are converted as `file.documentColorMode`
|
||||
converts them.
|
||||
|
||||
A built-in preset names its category's profile in `file.newPresets` (`profile`). Saved and Recent presets keep the
|
||||
profile of the preset they were made from. `file.new {profile: "Print"}` picks a profile for any settings, and
|
||||
`profile: null` starts with the defaults. A document made without a preset starts with the defaults.
|
||||
|
||||
The profiles are `.vectorcraft` files named after their category in the `New Document Profiles` folder next to the
|
||||
preferences (VectorCraft's own place and form). A category without a file has the shipped profile, which holds the
|
||||
defaults. Runs without preferences (`VECTORCRAFT_NO_PREFS`) and the web build have no folder, so every document starts
|
||||
with the defaults.
|
||||
|
||||
- `file.newProfiles` lists `{profiles: [{name, customized?, path?}], folder?}`. `customized` is true when the category
|
||||
has a file. A request whose read roots leave out the folder gets neither `customized` nor `path`.
|
||||
- `file.newProfiles.edit {name}` opens the profile as a document and returns `document.open`'s result. A category
|
||||
without a file gets the shipped profile written first. File › Save keeps the changes, and the next `file.new` reads
|
||||
them.
|
||||
- `file.newProfiles.reset {name}` deletes the category's file, so the shipped profile applies again, and returns
|
||||
`{name, reset}`. `reset` is false when there was no file. A copy of the profile that is open stays open.
|
||||
|
||||
The profile is read on every `file.new`, so a replayed journal or a recorded action uses the profile as it is when it
|
||||
runs, as `document.open` reads its file when it runs. A file larger than 64 MiB (VectorCraft's own limit) is not read.
|
||||
When the file cannot be read, is too large or is not a native document, or the request's read roots leave out the
|
||||
folder (whether or not the file exists), the document starts with the defaults and
|
||||
`file.new`'s result carries `profileError: {profile, reason}`; the desktop app shows the reason in the status bar. In
|
||||
the New Document dialog, Manage Profiles lists the profiles with Edit and Reset buttons. Edit is available only when
|
||||
there is a profiles folder, and Reset only for a profile that has a file. An unknown profile name is an error that
|
||||
lists the names.

|

three commands move whole artboards, by default those the Artboard tool has selected, else its active one. Each takes
|
||||
`index? | indices?`, `to?: "selection"|"artboard"`, `artboard?: n`, `moveArt?`, `patterns?` and `lockedAndHidden?`, and
|
||||
returns `{moved: [index…]}`.
|
||||
|
||||
- `artboard.align {horizontal?: "left"|"center"|"right", vertical?: "top"|"center"|"bottom"}` moves each artboard until
|
||||
the named edge or center is on that edge or center of the bounds of all the artboards named. One of the two
|
||||
directions is needed, and both can be given.
|
||||
- `artboard.distribute {horizontal? | vertical?, spacing?}` spaces the named edges or centers evenly between the first
|
||||
and the last artboard along the axis, which stay where they are. It needs three or more artboards.
|
||||
- `artboard.distributeSpacing {axis?: "horizontal"|"vertical", spacing?}` makes the gaps between the artboards along
|
||||
the axis equal. The first and the last artboard stay where they are. It needs three or more artboards, and `axis`
|
||||
defaults to `"horizontal"`.
|
||||
|
||||
`to: "artboard"` aligns to artboard `artboard`, which stays where it is. `artboard` defaults to the Artboard tool's
|
||||
active artboard. For `artboard.align` it can be an artboard that is not being aligned. The two Distribute commands
|
||||
space the artboards as they do without it and then move them together so that artboard `artboard`, when it is one of
|
||||
them, stays where it is. With `to: "artboard"` and `spacing`, `artboard.distribute` places the edges or centers
|
||||
`spacing` points apart, outward from that artboard in their order, and `artboard.distributeSpacing` leaves a gap of
|
||||
`spacing` points between neighbors; two artboards are enough, a negative `spacing` overlaps them, and an `artboard`
|
||||
that is not one of the artboards distributed fails with `no such artboard`. Without `to: "artboard"`, `spacing` is not
|
||||
used. These rules for `to`, `artboard` and `spacing` are VectorCraft's own.
|
||||
|
||||
When a call with `to: "artboard"` names no `artboard`, its journal entry records the active artboard it used as
|
||||
`activeArtboard`. A replay of the journal aligns to that artboard, and a recorded action leaves the value out and
|
||||
aligns to the artboard that is active when it plays. An `artboard` the call names stays in the action.
|
||||
|
||||
`moveArt` moves the art fully inside each artboard with it and defaults to the Artboard tool's Move Artwork with
|
||||
Artboard option. `patterns` and `lockedAndHidden` work as they do on `artboard.move`. An artboard's own guides move
|
||||
with it. A locked artboard stays where it is: it still counts in the bounds and keeps its place in the order, and a
|
||||
call fails with `the artboard is locked` when every artboard it names is locked. That rule is VectorCraft's own. Each
|
||||
command is one undo step, and records none when no artboard moves (fewer artboards than it needs included). A direction,
|
||||
`to`, `axis`, `artboard`, `spacing` or switch with a value outside the ones listed is an error, and nothing changes.
|
||||
A `spacing` that would move an artboard past the edge of the canvas fails with
|
||||
`result would exceed the canvas (coordinates out of range)`, and nothing changes.

`artboard.align`, `artboard.distribute` or `artboard.distributeSpacing`
|
||||
names no artboard, its journal entry records the artboards it acted on as `selectedArtboards`. A replay of the journal
|
||||
acts on those artboards, and a recorded action leaves the value out and acts on the selection when it plays.

Raster rendering fits and preflattens curved stroke outlines more tightly only below four times the raster tolerance, retaining thin-band coverage without changing stroke weight or vector export geometry. Current cached character/object outlines, cropped long strokes, gradient clips and effect rasters share the helper; cropped-region reuse and guarded flattening remain. The unchanged `fractional_curved_strokes_retain_coverage_between_notches` regression covers fractional weights, rotation, phase, opacity and f32-rounded endpoints. This is a quality/cost tradeoff, not a speed claim. Scores and estimates unchanged.
