I forgot to mention that; The default for this script is to fill the screen with the object, what ever that zoom level is. The script is written in javascript and can be modified to decrease the zoom level in this area of the script: //and scale to that proportion minus a little bit. activeDocument.views[0].zoom = zF *.85; // var criticalSize = 64; // how much zoom is too much? (6400 in this example...) var criticalSize = 18; // how much zoom is too much? (1800 in this example...) var adjustedScale = 18; //let's readjust based on your example to say... 1800% // var adjustedScale = 2.25; //let's readjust based on your example to say... 225% if(zF *.85 > criticalSize){ activeDocument.views[0].zoom = adjustedScale; } }else{ //alert("Please select an object on the page."); activeDocument.activeView.zoom=1; } } jbl

I create a new action, inserted menu item as you said, add F4 shortcut, but can't get the action. Script works fine from the Script menu. |
