Can you PLEASE create a script for:
See original GitHub issueCopy/Pasting a single layer into many layer groups? š
Example: (click to enlarge image

![animated gif of my adobe illustrator script suggestion](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/11687090/156850991-33619f36-4e2a-4d18-a742-d7a6d382667d.gif)
To begin with Iām having trouble exporting PNG files from artboards that have many layers each
example of | my artboards | #=layer amount |
---|---|---|
92 | 56 | 283 |
64 | 24 | 5 |
310 | 12 | 65 |
The Artboards all have the same canvas size, but the layers are part of a collective. Some shapes inside the layer-groups are 50x50px, others 350x80px. I need the exported PNG to have the full transparent canvas size.
As you can see in the video; When I āGenerate Assetā before my bad solution, only the shape itself gets exported.
My āhackā (read: hillbilly-solution) is to place a rectangle the size of the artboard on top of the layer with the opacity reduced to 0%. This works, but the high numbers in the table above are non-fictional (and lacking many artboards)
After 2 days of searching, this appears to not be natively possible in Illustrator, so a script is needed.
Thank you for the scripts you shared already. Iāve been using about a handful quite often
Please help me. I donāt want to copy/paste manually over 2500 times.

If you select hundreds or thousands of groups at a time, it will work very slowly. I havenāt tested it myself.
@defactofrank oh, itās been so many months. š By the way, I started an alternative source for donations https://fantalks.io/r/sergey
