don't see my script listed

In illustrator? Pretty sure scripts are limited to Function keys. I just add an an icon to my workspace in corel.

Yeah, I pretty much do the same snippet but I try the other methods to get the logo first. Website first, a lot of times there'll be an svg file. If that doesn't work, google "Company Name" FileType: pdf. Usually get a vector from a pdf. Email the web builder and ask for a vector. Lastly, do a...

What software are you using?

Yes, that's pretty much what the script does & then it deletes those lines after.

Still only equally "spacing" the shapes, not distributing equally across the artboard.

To be fair, corel, doesn't have this capability either, that's why I created macros to do it. A lot easier to run corel macros than illustrator scripts.

I actually made two scripts, 1 for vertical spacing too.

A good example would be if each of the shapes were text headings and you wanted to ensure they're equally/evenly spaced on the sign blank. You wouldn't want the text to align butt up against the left or right side.

I have a script that will do it, just thought I'd check to see if it already existed.

I must be missing a step, I can only get to to distribute to the edges to either the artboard not "within the artboard" or distribute equally between the selection.

In Corel under View it's called "wireframe", nothing about outline. In illustrator under View it's called "Outline". In Flexi, under View it's called "Show Fills". And, yes, it works as I believe it should. Allows you to see through text and shapes.

The answer to my original post should have been a simple, no. I've been doing this for 30 years and see it as imperative to see through text.

Here's another case where it would be beneficial. Cut this font in vinyl. what the! Quick check in outline view. "I see nothing wrong" Oh wait! Quick check in corel!

So, how would you check to see what anomalies may be lurking behind text? Still an illustrator fault in my book.

In corel it can remain as text. Chock that up as another illustrator fault.

In illustrator is there a way to see a "complete" outline/wireframe view like corel does it.

With using Coreldraw & the FineCut plug -in, I was able to incorporate a "fail safe" macro whereby throwing a caution pop up message if there were intersecting lines detected once you hit cut. Worked great for this and also if you had overlapping text characters i.e. AX. You could then go back...
