Target Scale Illustrator Script

Overview & Description

This function will iterate over a set of objects and scale them such that the last object in the selection (in terms of layer order) will have be scaled by the target value.

Example Settings & Result

Let’s say you have a series of 6 squares next to each other. The top-most square in the layer stack is on the left and the bottom-most square is on the right. If you select all these squares and set the target scale to be 0% here is what the result would be:

Square 1: Unchanged.
Square 2: 80% of original scale.
Square 3: 60% of original scale.
Square 4: 40% of original scale.
Square 5: 20% of original scale.
Square 6: 0% of original scale.

You can see that as Randomill iterated through the squares, it scaled each square in equal increments until the last square was scaled by the target value.
