Create Artboard Shapes 2.2

Effortlessly Create Precise Borders, Backgrounds, or Guides to Your Artboards

Create Artboard Shapes 2.2 is an Adobe Illustrator script that automates the creation of borders, backgrounds, or guides around artboards with comprehensive control and workflow integration. This latest version introduces round corner control and overprint options, further enhancing its professional printing capabilities.

The script offers three specialized modes: Borders mode creates customizable stroked rectangles with precise alignment options (center, inside, outside), Background mode generates filled rectangles automatically positioned at the bottom layer, and Guides mode produces non-printing guide rectangles for layout reference. Each mode includes a robust preset management system for saving, loading, and organizing custom configurations across projects.
