Scriptographer.org - Random Scale of Objects

2.9

RSS

I am trying to come up with a similar script to Random Distribute, that Randomizes the scale of objects, but keeping the proportions intact. However I am having a hard time.

I think I would have to figure out what the property for scale (might be separate for x and y scale) and replace obj.bounds.width/height with xscale/yscale.

is it possible to have it do a random rotation as well?

it is possible, try using a matrix: http://scriptographer.com/Reference/AI/Matrix/

i'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but it seems as if illustrator may save you the trouble.

Object > Transform > Transform Each...

this will transform selected objects individually (scale, move, rotation) and has a checkbox for tandom values.
