Add-ons: Arrange Tools — Arrange in Grid, Swap, Replace with Top Object, Set Size of Each, Zoom to Selection
A built-in add-on in Object › Plug-ins › Arrange Tools (#4830, #4831, #4832, #4833, #4834): - addon.arrange.grid lays the top-level selected objects out in rows and columns, a row or a column (stacking order from the back, visual bounds, each object centred in its cell), from the selection's top-left or centred on the artboard. - addon.arrange.swap swaps two objects' bounds centres, and with `size` their widths and heights. - addon.arrange.replace puts a copy of the topmost selected object centred on each of the others, in its stacking place, kept, stretched or fitted in proportion; the replaced objects are deleted unless `keep`. - addon.arrange.size gives each selected object an exact width and/or height about a reference point. - addon.arrange.zoomSelection (a UI command) fits the active view to the selection. Places and sizes are measured as object.setBounds measures them (its transform, now also available per object), strokes scale as Scale Strokes & Effects says, each command is one undo step, and Arrange in Grid, Replace with Top Object and Set Size of Each open previewed dialogs. Catalog rows, command sweep cases, docs/mcp.md, parity docs and the ROADMAP progress log.

## Arrange Tools add-on
|
||||
|
||||
Arrange Tools is a built-in add-on that lays out, swaps, replaces and sizes selected objects: its commands are
|
||||
`addon.arrange.*`, and in the desktop app it lives in Object › Plug-ins › Arrange Tools. Each command acts on the
|
||||
top-level selected objects and is one undo step; a run that moves nothing makes no step. Places and sizes are measured
|
||||
as `object.setBounds` measures them (Use Preview Bounds), except Arrange in Grid, which uses visual bounds.
|
||||
|
||||
| Command | Parameters (default) | Does |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `addon.arrange.grid` | `layout`: `grid`, `row`, `column` (`grid`); `columns`: 1…10000 (⌈√count⌉, never more than the count); `gapX` pt (10), `gapY` pt (`gapX`), each −1000000…1000000; `centerOnArtboard` (false) | Lays the objects out in their stacking order from the back, left to right and top to bottom. Each cell is as wide as the widest object in its column and as tall as the tallest in its row, and each object is centred in its cell. The grid starts at the selection's top-left, or is centred on the artboard under the selection's centre (the first artboard when none is there). → `{count}` |
|
||||
| `addon.arrange.swap` | `size` (false); `scaleStrokes` (the Scale Strokes & Effects preference) | Swaps the bounds centres of exactly two selected objects (off otherwise); with `size`, each also takes the other's width and height. |
|
||||
| `addon.arrange.replace` | `fit`: `keep`, `bounds` (the replaced object's width and height), `proportional` (fits inside them) (`keep`); `scaleStrokes`; `keep` (false) | Puts a copy of the topmost selected object centred on each of the other selected objects, in that object's place in the stacking order; the replaced objects are deleted unless `keep` (the copy then goes right above each). Needs two objects or more; the copies are selected. → `{ids}` |
|
||||
| `addon.arrange.size` | `width`, `height` pt, 0.001…1000000 (at least one); `proportional` (false: a side not given stays; true: it follows the given one in proportion); `reference` 0…8 (4, the centre); `scaleStrokes` | Gives every selected object that width and height, keeping its reference point in place (the 9-point grid row by row from the top-left). |
|
||||
|
||||
Zoom to Selection is the UI command `addon.arrange.zoomSelection {}` (remote mode only): it zooms and centres the
|
||||
active view so the selection's visual bounds fill the window with a margin, as `view.fitArtboard` fits the artboard,
|
||||
and fails with nothing selected. Arrange in Grid…, Replace with Top Object… and Set Size of Each… open dialogs
|
||||
(`ui.menuDialog {command}`, dialog kinds `arrangeGrid`, `arrangeReplace` and `arrangeSize`) whose fields are the
|
||||
command's parameters, with Preview; Set Size of Each's `__width` and `__height` say which sizes OK applies.
