Selects points on objects that are inside or outside the shape of the object. For example, for the task, select all the rays of a star and round them.
Search items in the document by name and zoom to them contents. Inspired by Photoshop CC 2020 features.
The SelectAllLayersAbove script selects objects in all layers above the active layer. And the SelectAllLayersBelow script is in the layers below. If something is selected in the document, the parent layer of the selected object becomes active. Otherwise, the active layer is the layer that is selected in the Layers panel. Change var isInclActive = false in the code to true so that objects in the source layer are also selected.
Selects all objects that overlap the bounds of the active artboard with a tolerance, or objects outside the bounds. The problem with the native Select → All on Active Artboard function is that it selects entire groups if at least one object in them is on the artboard. The script checks each object individually.
Tip
For complex documents, lock or hide unneeded objects and layers to speed up the script. Alternatively, switch Illustrator to full-screen mode (F) or hide the toolbars (Tab).
How Artboard Tolerance Works
All Indside Artboard:
> 0- selects objects whose edge is outside the artboard bounds within the value or falls inside the artboard.< 0- selects objects whose edge is deeper inside the artboard than the specified distance.
All Outside Artboard:
> 0- selects objects if their edge inside the artboard by the specified number.< 0- selects objects if their edge is further from the artboard bounds.
The Magic Wand tool selects objects that match the color of the sample. Selecting samples with the Shift key will select items of different colors. The script will select items if a fill or stroke color matches the colors selected in the Swatches panel.
Tip
To select objects with a different spot color tint, first uncheck Illustrator: Preferences → General → Select Same Tint %.
Warning
Don't put this script in the action slot for a quick run. It will freeze Illustrator.
After using the Lasso tool A or Direct Selection Tool Q, both Points and Path segments are selected.
Note
Vote on Uservoice #1, Uservoice #2 to add this feature to Illustrator.
Selects points on the selected paths according to their type. Does the thing that even Astute Graphics plugins can't do :)
Tip
Select View → Hide Bounding Box to see active points in real time.
Keyboard shortcuts:

- Bezier Q + 1
- Ortho Q + 2
- Flush Q + 3
- Corner Q + 4
- Broken Q + 5
- Flat Q + 6
Finds rotated objects in a selection or in a document. If isSkipRight: true, then objects rotated 90, 180, 270 degrees are ignored, if false value, then all objects with rotation angle different from 0 degrees are selected.
