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.
