Demo Version Features

The free demo is designed to test the core logic and ensure compatibility with your specific files. If the demo handles your objects without errors, you can be absolutely confident that the Full Version will work flawlessly.

Included in the Demo:

• Two Layout Methods: Experience the standard Grid Layout and the advanced Knolling Layout (MER algorithm).
• Clipping Mask Support: The script correctly detects the boundaries of masks, ignoring hidden contents.
• Smart Container Detection: Automatically identifies the container by the largest area in your selection.
• Non-destructive: Includes a built-in Undo system to restore your original positions.

Limitations: To unlock Dense Packing (True-Shape Nesting), Shape Respect, Fit to Container (Auto-Resize) and other features, please purchase the full version.

What is a JSX Script?

A .jsx file is a simple script for Adobe applications. Unlike a full plugin (.zxp), it doesn't require a special installer. You can run it directly from Illustrator's menu.

How to Install and Run

You can try Arrange Master in seconds without any installation. For regular use, we recommend placing the script in the Illustrator folder.

Quick Run (No Installation)

1. Download the script using the button in the header to get the Arrange Master Demo.jsx file.
2. In Adobe Illustrator, select your objects (a container and some items).
3. Go to the menu: File > Scripts > Other Script... (or press Cmd+F12 / Ctrl+F12).
4. Navigate to and select the downloaded Arrange Master Demo.jsx file to run it.

Recommended for Regular Use (Installation)

To have the script always available in your menu:

1. Place the downloaded script into your Adobe Illustrator Scripts folder. Common locations are:
   • Windows: C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator [Version]/Presets/en_US/Scripts/
   • macOS: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator [Version]/Presets.localized/en_US/Scripts/
2. Restart Illustrator. This is a one-time step.
3. Now you can run the script anytime from File > Scripts > Arrange Master Demo.
