View 5 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Import And Use Custom Illustrator Symbol Library
Sep 19, 2012I would like to import and use my own (project-specific) Illustrator Symbol Libraries in Photoshop
Background info
- I create BIG amounts of assets (for UI design) in Adobe Illustrator which I save as Symbols.
- I store these symbols in a custom symbol library so I can re-use them in a different file
- Reason A: to be able to re-use these symbols within the Illustrator file to visualize different "interaction flows" to my clients
- Reason B: I use vector assets because they allow me to accommodate for different screen resolutions in the future
Wish
A: I would like to be able to open the same symbol library I created in Illustrator in Photoshop and drag the symbols onto my Photoshop canvas.
B: If I change a symbol in Illustrator it should be updated in my Photoshop file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: Using Javascript And ScriptUI To Create A Form That Brings In Symbol From Library
Feb 25, 2012I've been trying to pull together the right info to use JavaScript to create a form to bring in particular symbols from the symbol library based on the variables taken from the form. I've taken bits and pieces from various sample scripts and tried to make this work, but my problem appears when I try to use conditionals.This is a limited version of what I want to do, but it is enough to get the point across.
1. I want to select a script that has various dropdown boxes. I would like the first dropdown to give me 3 options: 10, 13, 18
2. I would also like another drop down box that gives me three more options: single needle, double needle, and knife edge.
3. I would then like it to have an "ok" button and "Cancel" button.
4. From here when I click the ok button, a symbol is brought in from the library depending on what parameters were given to the form.
ex. If I selected 10 in the first drop down and double needle in the second, I would like "SYMBOL A" to be pulled from the library and centered on the artboard.ex. If I selected 13 in the first drop down and double needle in the second, I would like "SYMBOL B" to be pulled from the library and centered on the artboard.
I've gotten the UI to pop up and it works as planned as well as bringing in a symbol, my problem comes when I try to incorporate conditionals and functions.Here is my script.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;var Pallette = new Window ("dialog", "Create a Shell"); Pallette.add ("statictext", undefined, "Fill Opening in Inches:"); Pallette.orientation = "row";var myDropdown = Pallette.add ("dropdownlist", undefined, ["10", "13", "18"]);myDropdown.selection = 1;var myButtonGroup = Pallette.add ("group");myButtonGroup.orientation = "column";var btnCreate = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined,

AutoCAD Inventor :: Numbers Are Added To Symbol When Using Symbol In Lieu Of Balloon
Mar 1, 2013The attached picture is me trying to balloon a part. I would like to just add some notes to the balloon so that I can update them manually but all I can find is to have a symbol. So I created a symbol, the insertion point for the symbol is shown. For some reason I get an extra number and the symbol offcenter. Why is this happening? What I'm really looking for is a balloon that is fully customizable so that I can just add text to the top and bottom and fill out the details.
View 5 Replies View RelatedEdge Animate CC :: How To Dynamically Set A Symbol Name That Has Been Parsed From XML To Build A Symbol Path
Mar 20, 2013Is there a way to "eval" or dynamically set a symbol name that has been parsed from XML to build a symbol path? For example, I'm trying to dynamically set a variable to the path of a sysmbol already on the stage, but it's not working correctly:
var xmlSymName = $('symName', this).text(); // where symName = "sym4" from a parsed XML node
var whatPOI = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("sym1").getSymbol("sym2").getSymbol("sym3").getSymbol(xmlSymName).getSymbolElement();
Basically I have a lot of points on a map and I'd like to be able to name the points along with other data like tooltip callouts, etc populated via XML then loop through the XML to build the points of interest on the map. If I can get the above working I can place that variable path reference into an array and grab the data from it later. But the path is not working the way I have it.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Why Can't Symbol Manager Find Symbols Library
May 24, 2012Just installed X6. However, even though I installed Symbols and Objects from the content install, symbol manager does not see the symbols library on my hard drive. I guess it expects me to add a library, but where this symbols library is. Am I supposed to install the entire content package (I really don't want to clutter my hard drive with thousands of unwanted images) in order for symbol manager to be able to automatically find where the symbols are?
