Align and distribute artboards ([Align and distribute artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/organize-manage-artboards/align-and-distribute-artboards.html)):
|
||||
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.
