10 Most Useful Scripts for Illustrator Users! ｜ Free Scripts ｜ Adobe Illustrator scripts

Hi everyone. In this video, I'll share 10 handy Illustrator scripts for Adobe Illustrator users. Basically, scripts boost the program's capabilities by handling tasks that the default setup can't. How to get a script and install it, the video is already uploaded on my YouTube channel, link in the description. Let's move to the first script, which is DUP at selected anchors. I have an abstract geometric line pattern, and a small circular shape. To place this on the anchor point manually, it's a time-consuming process. Let's try it with the script. Select both, go to the file menu, then script and DUP at selected anchors. You can see that this script duplicates the foreground object in the selection at the locations of each selected anchor point. Let's try it with another example. Let's jump to the second, which is make numbers sequence. I have a month on the calendar. Adding the numbers manually is quite a time-consuming process. Try it with the script. Lock the shape, and select all the numbers, and apply the script to it. Add the start value, end value, and increment, and follow my other settings, and see the magic. Let's try it with another example. Let's move to the third one, which is triangulator. Here I have a bird shape. If I add manual triangles to create a low poly design, it takes time. Instead, select the shape, go to the file menu, then script and triangulator. Hold the alt button while applying this script to open the options. You can change the colors on it using the recolor options. Let's try it with another example. Let's jump to the fourth, which is random swatches fill color. Adding different colors to the different shapes is a time-consuming process. Try it with the script. Select the color, and open the swatches panel from the window menu, and click on the create new group. Then select the shapes and color group. Go to the file menu, then script, and random swatches fill color. Let's try it with another example. Hold the shift button to select the colors, create group, and apply the script. Let's try it with another example. Let's move to the fifth script, which is fillinger. This is my top script from the list. To fill a shape with random elements manually is frustrating and time-consuming. Try it with the script. Bring the shape to the front. Select the elements and group them. Go to the file menu, then script and fillinger. You can set the maximum and minimum size, resize value, distance, and more. Let's try it with another example. Let's jump to the sixth script, which is a text block. I have this text, to arranging it properly is a time-consuming process. I have a quick solution for it. Select all and apply the script to it. You can use this script to create a typography design. Let's try it with another example. Let's move to the seventh script, which is metaball. Select the two circles, go to the file menu, then script and metaball. Let's try it with another example. Let's move to the eighth script, which is a replace items. I have these shapes. Select the rectangle tool, hold the shift button to draw a square. Then go to the object menu, path, and split into a grid. Add rows and columns. Apply the script to it. You can change colors on it by using the recolor option. Let's try it with another example. Let's move to the ninth one, which is points move random. Select the line tool and draw a straight line. Hold the alt button to create a copy of it, and press ctrl plus d for duplicate. Select all and go to the file menu, then script and points move random. Here we have multiple settings. You can play around it. Now, go to the direct selection tool and select the top anchor points. Let's try it with another example. Let's move to the final script, which is a split path. Don't do it like this. Select the lines and shape. Go to the file menu, script and split path. First, I try with the intersect option and click on ok. And see the magic. Minus front. Let's try it with the other option. And that's it. Share your thoughts on this. If there is any question, you can ask in the comment section.
