So good to know you are OK!<br />Yes, the community have been experimenting with ChatGPT to write scripts for Ai. What it lacks is an actual experience about hidden problems Ai so generously offers. But when combined with a proper prompt and a knowledge of practical limitations, it boosts the process indeed. It still needs our guidance :)<br />Cheers!Egor Chistyakovnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727441.post-21242309333453720522022-09-27T11:36:10.417-07:002022-09-27T11:36:10.417-07:00Thank you so much for making this script.

I wondered if you ever managed to make this work within a set artboard size as Andrew message above.<br /><br />It's something I am trying to work on at the moment where you can nest objects onto an artboard but keeping the order, where most nesting software changes the order to create a better nest, but I am more after the order more than anything.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />SamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591635413622965462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727441.post-91085624663748441762020-10-06T19:22:08.611-07:002020-10-06T19:22:08.611-07:00Also would like to know how to keep the aspect con...Also would like to know how to keep the aspect consistent, ie only sizing one of the sides to a spec and keeping the other side constrained to the original aspect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727441.post-81436402661487856252020-08-28T08:45:40.728-07:002020-08-28T08:45:40.728-07:00Been looking for this for a long time!
