Hello all,

I have an illustrator document (Illustrator CC) with thousands of objects. I would like to export the X,Y coordinate of the center point of each objects --> either one by one or as one. Would you have any guidelines what os the best way doing this?

The aim is to use these objects in XML based format ( SVG) and manipulate them individually within HTML5.

Look forward to your suggestions.

You would have to write a script that goes through your objects and retrieves the data and formats it suitably.

Thanks for this. I hoped that there is already a script out there. Anywhere you think I could find an expert who could code this for me quickly, even for a fee? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Agree with Mylenium. Then you would have to decide if you want the simple center of the bounding box or the center of gravity.

Try the Illustrator Scripting forum accessible from the Overview tab.
