  Add an ellipse via script

  Posted by Arne Münch on May 7, 2020 at 2:03 pm

  Hi
  I am using

  app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].property(“Contents”).addProperty(“ADBE Vector Group”);

  to add a shapelayer group inside an existing shapelayer. But it puts it under the existing group. I want to create it above the existing group.
  Someone know how to do this?

  I’m not sure if this does what you want, but give it a try:

  var myGroup = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].property(“Contents”).addProperty(“ADBE Vector Group”);
  myGroup.moveTo(1);
