Hi, I am new to illustrator and I want to align the textFrame centered to the pathItem(square) using Extendscript as shown in picture1. I have uploaded another picture, which shows the layer and group of these objects. Actually, all these squares and textFrames in one group. let me know how can i want to align them horizontally centered according to each other.

I want to align this green square and textFrame(TEST)'s midpoints horizontally.

Thanks in advance!

  • This is probably better asked of Adobe if the scripting guide is insufficient.

It can be done by mathematically: y-axis - (textFrameHeigth / 2 - squareHeight / 2). And y-axis is the position of the square(pathItem) and textFrame on the artboard which would same because of center alignment. You can get square and textFrame height by using app.document.square.height or (pathItem.height) and app.document.textFrames[x].height.

Thanks.
