How to download

1. To download all scripts, use the "Download ZIP" button above.

2. To download a script, click on the script name in the list. The page of the code will open. Right click on the "Raw" button, and then "Save As...".

Right clicking on the script name (link) and using "Save as" will download a source code of the webpage, not a script file.

After download put the script(s) in the designated place. E.g. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\en_EN\Scripts

ObjectArea.jsx

This script gives you the area size of the selected paths in cm², mm² or inch².

Usage:

1. Select one path and run the script:
2. Hit the button you want to have the space calculated in.

Notice:

• Fails on compound paths.
• May fail on difficult paths.
• Returns NaN on non-paths like text.

Third-party

Other places too look:

• Classic John Wundes scripts

• Hiroyuki Sato

• Alexander Ladygin's repo is brimming of useful scripts

• Illustrator Praxis with a big collection of different scripts

• Tom Byrne's MultiExporter.jsx
  Just save it with the filename MultiExporter.jsx.
  Then put that into your scripts folder. It can be found under
  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator [VERSION]\Presets\[LANGUAGE]\Scripts In Illustrator, use the File > Scripts > MultiExporter option to bring up the dialogue box.

  To get easier access to the scripts install the plugin by majman which retrofits a panel, like known from the other Adobe apps.
