It can transform your artboards into a Storyboard!!
I realized how useful the artboard function is when I started to use illustrator for UI designs. I became able to integrate multiple screens into an AI file.
I had to make and manage multiple files for an application when I used Photoshop. It was horroble to modify many things. In illustrator, however, I can see all screens in a AI file and modify such a big change quicker than before.
I came up with this idea that transforms the artboards into a Storyboard. I thought it will be useful for UI designers. You will be able to know and review how your application works immediately.
I hope you will be satisfied with it.
Please put this script file into the script folder of illustrator.
For example in CC 2014.
Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe lllustratorCC2014\Presets\[language]\Scripts\
Mac OS: /Applications/Adobe lllustrator CC 2014/Presets/[language]/Scripts/
- Add specialized tags to the name of your artboards.
- Execute this script.
Your artboards will be arranged, and will be similar to a storyboard. Each screen comes with arrows indicating the next screens.

The specialized tags are quite simple!! The tags consist of the sequence numbers combined hyphens together as below.
If you want to know more and can understand Japanese, please access to the URL below. I wrote an explanation about how to use it more detail in Japanese.
