Is there a way to select a large number of objects and rotate each of them around their respective center points by a random amount? Perhaps via scripting (@PatStanford)
I have many instances of a Symbol arranged in a grid, but I'd like each instance to be rotated randomly for a more natural look. It'd be great to be able to select them and simply run a command.
Perhaps this one is closer to what you want.
It will rotate all visible selected objects by a random amount between 0 and 90°. If used inside a group (edit mode), only the selected objects in the group are rotated. If used inside a Symbol Definition (edit mode), only selected objects inside the symbol definition are rotated.
Test on a backup copy to ensure suitability before using on an active work file to ensure you understand the performance.
