Illustrator Script - Multi Object Select to Square Foot Table

Illustrator Object Square Footage Calculator Script

Description:

This powerful Adobe Illustrator script automatically calculates the square footage of selected objects in your document and generates a detailed report. It’s the perfect tool for designers, drafters, and estimators who need to quickly and accurately calculate area measurements for multiple objects, whether they're paths, shapes, or other vector elements.

Key Features:

• Instant Area Calculation: The script calculates the square footage of each selected object on the active artboard, providing quick and precise measurements.
• Object-Specific Report: Lists each selected object by its assigned name, along with its corresponding square footage. If an object is unnamed, it will default to “Unnamed Object”.
• Total Square Footage: Displays the cumulative square footage of all selected objects at the end of the report.
• Customizable Output: Results are displayed in a clean text format, making it easy to copy, save, or use for further estimation.
• Seamless Integration: Works directly within Adobe Illustrator. Simply select your objects and run the script—no complicated setups needed.
• Perfect for Estimators: Ideal for calculating material needs, such as fabric, vinyl, or other sign and print materials based on object size.

How It Works:

1. Create a large canvas in Adobe Illustrator and draw your signage to 1:1 scale, select the objects you want to calculate the square footage for.
2. Run the script, and it will automatically calculate the area for each object based on its visible bounds.
3. The results, including individual object areas and a grand total, will be displayed in a text box on the artboard for easy reference.
4. Use the calculated square footage for pricing, ordering materials, or project planning.

Compatibility:

• Adobe Illustrator CS6 and newer versions.
• Compatible with both Windows and MacOS.
