Tutorial on three basic vector separation methods in Adobe Illustrator.
Gilligan:
Yes, can't be done via actions but CAN be done via scripting. Two different balls of wax.

Are you looking to change the placement of these registration marks based on the design? So a 3x3 design would have them at corners that would be like a 4x4 square around it? Or ALWAYS the same place... we use a template for that (new from template is best as it prompts you to save like new).
If you are looking to do custom sized reg marks then you could probably do some coding that could take an element and make it your registration marks. You would select your object and then it would replace it based on the coordinates of that. I have played with a few scripts that did similar things... but at the same time different. I could probably help you work through that if you needed.

That would be cool to get some help with that. Generally I want my custom regi marks placed an inch away around the artwork. So generally they will fall always in a different place depending how big the art is.
Frog:
In CorelDRAW, rather than use the standard marks in their standard positions, I have always merely imported the three "rifle sight" type marks that I created.
Two easy steps: Import my "3RegMarks" file, and then position them as I need.
Can't be any tougher in Illy.
btw, years ago, a buddy who was teaching me Photoshop did them as custom brushes.

For that, we have it set up as a Template (.ait), and all we usually have to do after placing the image is to move the lower marks upward until they are just outside the image...

Sure it could.
Draw a box, hit a button and those marks are placed automatically based on the box you just drew. :)
