Illustrator Extension Artboardholder

the Extension for Illustrator manages artboards like resize , rename , generate , etc... I had developed some ExtendScripts for sorting artboard but it was messed up bit so I unified those scripts on the panel.
details are below.

17 March 2022update ver1.0.1
I fixed bud that reversed some values (width and height)

Japanese explanation is here

Panel

common

you can load current artboards data just push load button. it has also load event which loads artboards when you switch active document on Illustrator automatically. if you want to use event , push the OFF button next to the load button. and event will be dispatched. but it won't reload when you edit document even if you turn on the event button. artboards has their own data on panel , like size , position of x y , name and renamed name(I explain how you rename it later) and it has check button as well (it refers wheather it will be target of process).

Resize

Resize

literally resize artboards. it can resize artboard and it can adjust size as well(like expand or shrink). fill ou number box as you want to resize or adjust number of size. in case you push the resize button . it resizes artboards. but in case of you push the adjust button . it adjusts size from origin of artboard's size.
