Four Professional Tools in One Plugin

Grid Layout

Organize your assets into clean grids. Control the spacing, stagger rows, or duplicate one item to fill the entire area.

Knolling Layout

Pack objects neatly based on their bounding boxes. The plugin scales your items automatically to fit the artboard space.

Greedy Layout

Stack elements quickly using directional gravity. Turn on Dense Packing to nest true vector shapes and save material.

Shape Respect

Place your items inside custom vector boundaries. The tool recognizes text outlines and fills complex shapes automatically.

Unlock Your Productivity

True-Shape Nesting

Optimize material usage for print shops, CNC/laser cutting. The nesting algorithm uses vector path analysis to pack objects based on their actual contours and internal cavities.

Vector & Raster Support

Arrange basic shapes, typography, and embedded images. The plugin evaluates standard bounding boxes and packs raster elements masked within vector clipping paths.

Layer Structure Retention

Your file organization remains intact. Cut lines, spot colors, QR codes, and guides stay on their original layers after the layout process is complete, ensuring production-ready files.

Direction & Gravity Controls

Define how objects settle into the layout. Choose between top-down or bottom-up filling, and apply X, Y, or dual X/Y gravity vectors to strictly control the nesting direction.

Custom Shape Containers

Select any arbitrary shape to act as your container. A secure session workflow protects your original artwork while objects automatically fill the container's geometry.

Single Item Fill Mode

Select one object and automatically fill the entire container with its copies. Adjust gravity vectors and fill directions to maximize the number of items placed in a single run.

Universal Measurement Units

Work in the metrics you prefer. Arrange Master seamlessly synchronizes with your active Illustrator document, supporting millimeters, centimeters, inches, points, and pixels.

Advanced Rotation Options

Adapt to your material constraints. Use 90° orthogonal turns for geometric shapes, 180° flips for textile grain alignment, or 360° free rotation for complex organic objects.

Lifetime License & Compatibility

A professional Adobe Illustrator plugin for macOS and Windows (CC 2018+). Available globally as a one-time purchase with no recurring subscriptions.

Arrange Master | Illustrator Plugin

Arrange Master is a professional Adobe Illustrator plugin engineered for layout automation and material optimization. It utilizes a true-shape nesting algorithm to process complex geometries, preparing files for print production, CNC machining, and laser cutting.

Key Capabilities & Algorithms:

True-Shape Nesting: Applies vector path analysis to interlock irregular shapes, minimizing material waste during the layout process.
Raster & Vector Processing: Evaluates bounding boxes for embedded raster images and traces exact contours for vector graphics.
Layer Retention: Maintains document hierarchy, keeping cut paths, spot colors, and registration marks on their respective layers.
Gravity & Direction: Employs perpendicular X and Y gravity vectors to control object distribution and nesting density.
Custom Containers: Constrains arrangement patterns within specific vector boundaries, handling internal holes and text outlines.
Production Preparation: Automates the generation of sticker sheets, flat lays, and CNC/laser cutting templates across all standard measurement units.
