I'm trying to set the position and size of selected objects in Illustrator to whole numbers quickly.

Is there an Action or Script that does that already?

If so, where can I find that?

Otherwise, what would be the fastest workflow?

(So far I'm tabbing through the Transform Panel and manually rounding and iterating through elements, which is slow)

  • From how I interprate you question. You could create a Action using the Effect->Transform to use a general scale and move. Going about it this way would allow you to set a global change to objects in a document/artboard.

  • @Luciano that question assumes working in pixels. If you're working in any unit other than pixels/points then that won't work.

  • @Cai True. I assumed pixels would be the most troublesome unit, since blurred lines can occur when not aligned to the pixel grid.

  • True pixels are the most probable case, question doesn't specify though. And that question is only relevant for new objects, not adjusting existing objects.

Next time you could set up a grid and let the artboard and all objects snap to it.

  • To use the grid, choose View > Show Grid.
  • To hide the grid, choose View > Hide Grid.

  • To snap objects to gridlines, choose View > Snap To Grid,
    (Note: When the View > Pixel Preview option is selected, Snap To Grid changes to Snap To Pixel.)

  • To specify the spacing between gridlines, choose Edit > Preferences > Guides & Grid (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > Guides & Grid (Mac OS).
