    Starting with Beta 29.7.1 the Rearrange dialog got a separate dedicated feature, currently called 'Align Manually'.

    With it disabled, artboards get positioned instantly in the center of the canvas, as it behaved previously.

    When this is enabled, you will enter the positioning mode after pressing OK — to allow rearranging only some artboards, to address this request.

    With more than 1 artboard selected (but not all), the mode gets enabled automatically (and becomes locked).

    Thanks Egor, yes please merge it. I don't know why I didn't find it during my search for "rearrange artboards".

    m1b commented  · 

    MacOS v15.5, Adobe Illustrator v29.6.1.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a document with several artboards
    2. Choose the normal select tool (step probably no necessary, but emphasises the issue)
    3. Choose Rearrange Artboards from the Artboards panel flyout menu
    4. Set up the rearranging and click OK

    Expected result:
    Artboards are rearranged and app is left in the normal editing state.

    Actual result:
    App goes into some kind of "editing artboards" state similar to manually using the Artboard tool.

    Hi Ten_A, you're right. There are lots of things that make it work. I listed more ways in my code in the forum post. Often I try to avoid app.redraw() because I don't want to spawn another Undo record.

    I just spent half an hour troubleshooting a script before I found that the issue was this bug again. If I'm not keeping this bug in mind, it is time consuming to get to the bottom of it each time. I would love to see this fixed!

    By the way, I would expect Illustrator to automatically sanitise the path items before creating the compoundPathItem, rather than learn to handle bad compoundPathItems, such as those containing groupItems.

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    m1b commented  · 

    AI version: 27.1.1
    OS: MacOS 13.1

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. New Document.
    2. Make some compoundPathItems (eg. create outlines of text).
    3. Group the compoundPathItems.
    4. Select that group
    5. Choose menu: Object > Compound Path > Make
    6. Run this script:
    alert('pathItems.length = ' + app.activeDocument.selection[0].pathItems.length);

    Result: alert says pathItems.length = 0
    Expected result: should say the actual number of pathItems

    I have just tested this using AI 27.4 on MacOS 13.3.1 and this bug has been fixed.

    However, I think the fix may have created [this new bug](https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/46537261-incorrect-word-count-via-script).

    var dc = app.documents.addDocumentWithDialogOption(“Art & Illustration”, false);
    //add some objects
    dc.saveAs(File(”~/Desktop/testNoUI.ai“));
    dc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

    Above script works for creating, saving and close the document without UI. The document preset is localized, if you are using locale other than english, you should pass the localized name of preset to addDocumentWithDialogOption method.

    @Rama I just tested your sample script and it *does* show UI—it shows the new document as a normal document window. Therefore, this issue is not resolved.
