Assigning guides to Artboards directly

Photoshop
1

Hello all,

For a personal hobby I’m automating some tasks I would normally have to do manually. I’ve made a script that calculates artboard guides to a specific size depending on the height and width.

But I need to have the guides on the artboard, not on the canvas due to obvious clutter reasons. Is this possible?

Code included for clarity.

#target photoshop 
var doc = activeDocument;
var aLayer = doc.activeLayer;
var ab = artboard_rectangle(aLayer);
var aW = ab[2] - ab[0];  // Artboard width
var aH = ab[3] - ab[1];  // Artboard height

// Calculate the margin (height + width) / 55
var margin = (aW + aH) / 55;

// Place a vertical centered guide on the artboard
var centerX = ab[0] + aW / 2;  // Horizontal center of the artboard
doc.guides.add(Direction.VERTICAL, centerX);

// Place a horizontal centered guide on the artboard
var centerY = ab[1] + aH / 2;  // Vertical center of the artboard
doc.guides.add(Direction.HORIZONTAL, centerY);

// Place guides for top, bottom, left, and right based on the margin
doc.guides.add(Direction.HORIZONTAL, ab[1] + margin);  // Top guide (relative to artboard)
doc.guides.add(Direction.HORIZONTAL, ab[3] - margin);  // Bottom guide (relative to artboard)
doc.guides.add(Direction.VERTICAL, ab[0] + margin);    // Left guide (relative to artboard)
doc.guides.add(Direction.VERTICAL, ab[2] - margin);    // Right guide (relative to artboard)

// Rename the artboard
renameArtboard(aLayer, aW, aH);

function renameArtboard(layer, width, height) {
    try {
        var artboardName = "_" + width + "x" + height;
        layer.name = artboardName;
        // Removed alert for renaming
        // alert('Artboard renamed to: ' + artboardName);
    } catch (e) {
        // alert("Error renaming artboard: " + e.message);
    }
}

function artboard_rectangle(layer) {
    try {        
        var r = new ActionReference();    
        r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("artboard"));
        r.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), layer.id);  // Target the artboard layer specifically
        var d = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("artboard")).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("artboardRect"));
        var bounds = new Array();
        bounds[0] = d.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("left"));
        bounds[1] = d.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("top")); 
        bounds[2] = d.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("right"));
        bounds[3] = d.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("bottom"));                                

        return bounds;
    } catch (e) { 
        alert(e); 
    }
}
