: Script to automatically snap all points to grid in Adobe Illustrator? How would you write a script to move all points of all selected paths to the nearest (non-pixel grid) grid point? e.g.

@Kimberly620

Here you go, make sure the paths that you want to snap are selected:

// jooSnapToDocumentGrid.jsx
#target illustrator

main();

function main(){
var grid = getDocumentGrid();
snapSelectedPathToDocumentGrid(activeDocument.selection, grid);
}

function snapSelectedPathToDocumentGrid(sel, grid){
for(var i = 0; i < sel.length; i++){
try {
var pp = sel[i].pathPoints;
for(var j = 0; j < pp.length; j++){
var p = pp[j];
p.leftDirection = nearestGrid(p.leftDirection, grid);
p.rightDirection = nearestGrid(p.rightDirection, grid);
p.anchor = nearestGrid(p.anchor, grid);
}
} catch(err) { }
}
}

function getDocumentGrid(){
var prf = app.preferences;
var ticks = prf.getIntegerPreference('Grid/Horizontal/Ticks');
var spacing = prf.getRealPreference('Grid/Horizontal/Spacing');
return spacing/ticks;
}

function nearestGrid(anchor, grid) {
return [Math.round(anchor[0] / grid) * grid,
Math.round(anchor[1] / grid) * grid ];
}
