View 2 Replies View RelatedI've a Photoshop droplet with set of actions like:
Open
Fit image
height:180
width:180
Save
as jpeg
quality:11
Close
It does it's work as expected but once the actions are executed on all the images in a folder, I'd like to close the Photoshop as well, which looks tricky in Photoshop droplet. Is there anyway to close Photoshop application at last by action? Or is there any option so that droplet actions will be executed without opening the Photoshop window.
I recently had a power failure while working in AICS5 on Mac OS 10.7.5. When I restarted, AI reopened and tried to open every file I've worked on, in the last month or so.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a javascript that goes through a folder, rasterizes the paths inside each file, and saves the results as separate files in another folder. My script works fine on individual files as well as for several simple files. However, once it gets going on some of the big ones, it starts to give me PARM errors.
Illustrator CS5.1Windows XP, SP3 (work computer)JavascriptThe CAD export that created the pdf and eps files broke any curves into tons of tiny straight lines. As a result, these drawings can have 15-35 thousand paths per image.
Get the source and destination directoriesOpen a file from the source directoryGo to the first layer of the fileLoop through all text items to move them to their own layerLoop through all path and compound paths to move them to a groupRasterize the group of path itemsRepeat for the next layer and so onSave the file to the destination directoryRepeat the process for the next file and so on.The scripting guide suggests it could be from conflicting functions or global variables overwriting each other. However, my script is now entirely contained within its own function, and all variables are declared locally. Running from a clean illustrator and ESTK startup, it will still produce a PARM error after a few large files.
The guide also suggests having the script quit and re-launch Illustrator after working on many files. Since I assume these huge diagrams are probably several "normal" files' worth of objects each, I figured it probably just needs to restart Illustrator after x amount of stuff goes through. So I look in the guide's section on launching Illustrator through javascript. That basically says "Why would you ever need to do that?" I tried looking it up in the tools guide, but that document isn't very clear at all.
1. What would I have to do so Illustrator doesn't throw a PARM error on the line marked below? (besides just putting it in a try/catch and pretending it didn't happen) It doesn't consistently happen on the same file or even at the same point in the file, but always at that line.
This is just a tiny part of the script. objectClass is a placeholder for PathItems, CompoundPathItems, etc. Looping backwards and setting the group to null at the end were just experiments, neither of which had any effect on the error.
if(objectClass.length > 0){
var objectGroup = myLayer.groupItems.add();
for(var i = objectClass.length; i > 0; i--){
objectClass[i-1].move(objectGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); //This one keeps breaking stuff.
}
sourceDoc.rasterize(objectGroup, rastBounds, rastOptions);
objectGroup = null;
}
2. Failing that, how can I relaunch Illustrator through javascript? Or a limited amount of VBScript, though my knowledge of that is limited too.
When I have been working on a document for a few minutes, Photoshop suddenly disable the OpenGL features such as the Rotate View Tool. OpenGL does still seem to be enabled in Edit>Preferences>Performance...
I think the disabling happens when I use the Brush Tool.
If I save, closes and re-opens the document, the features are back. (I just created an action for this)

Everytime I come to import files I have to re-select my import folder. I'm sure previous versions rembered the path until I cahnged it.

Two of my users' 2013 Civil 3D's Sheet Set Manager does not show anything in the Recent list even though they have opened a few sheet sets and have worked on drawings from those sheet sets. In other words, they pick on the SSM > Open > and hover on Recent and nothing shows up. Once some sheet sets have been opened, the Recent list does populate during that AutoCAD session, but once AutoCAD is closed, the SSM > Open > Recent list does not populate. Mine works fine and we are using the same profiles.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a model rigged with The Setup Machine and The Face Machine and a single material is applied to each of them. Not sure if the above is relevant, but when I tested this in a clean scene with just a sphere, everything was fine.
I then select a few faces and apply a new material to those faces. I smooth the mesh and the UVs are smoothed and the different materials appear where they should be. If I set the divisions on the polySmoothFace node to 2 or more the materials seem randomly placed across the mesh. The Uvs however, are smoothed correctly. So I then have to reassign the materials to the correct faces.
If I do one smooth mesh, then another separate smooth mesh, the materials are placed correctly.
Is this a bug or do you think something is wrong with my setup?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI did this for CS6 but am at a loss for how to do it in CC.
I'm on a Mac and want my workspace to have a solid background instead of being able to see through it onto my desktop; similar to what you would see when first openning Illustrator on a Windows PC. Doing this also adds the minimize, close, etc. buttons to the header.
Each time I try to change the fonts the application crashes regardless of whether it's a new/old document. I noticed this happening after I installed Illustrator CS5 by downloading it on my MBP Retina. Never had this problem on my old MBP 10.6.8. Either there's an issue with downloading the application or with 10.7.5.

[Code]....
this is my set of saved actions...i was told to paste it in here...is this what you meant?
I use a series of actions that were created in CS6 and are not that complicated. They resize and align an object to coordinates with the center reference point and proportions constrained. I assumed that they would translate to other coworker’s machines with cs5 and cs5.5, but they do not work. The actions appear to load properly, but do not run like they should.
When I hit the assigned hotkey, the selected object moves, but not to the correct location and does not change size as it is supposed to. Also, I can try to manually play individual parts of the action (moving to a reference point or resizing to a certain width) and nothing happens. Not even a wiggle. When I do try to do them one at a time, the small downward triangle button that reveals details of the action disappears and when I click again I get an error message that says 'the object "transform panel" is not available.' I assume this means that action is looking for a location that has changed name or something, but I don't know how they work well enough to spot any differences when viewing the action with a text editor.
All of the computers I tried had win7. Mine is CS6 (v 16.0.2 64-bit), 2 others had CS5 and 5.5.
Ever since I upgraded to CS6 (3 months ago) I am having crashes all the time with actions.
I have tried to remake the actions, reinstall Illustrator, disable font embedding, nothing works. I have posted the crash to Adobe many times but no fix, obviously.
Seems to be the saving that crashes Illustrator.
Since upgrading to Illustrator CC, my actions haven't been working right. All the details from certain steps are completely gone. For example, if a step involved rotating the selection by 90°, the "Rotate" step will still be there, but there is no longer a disclosure arrow next to it with the value of 90°. Also, the Fkey that was previously bound to the action has been removed.
I have another action that selects all shapes with a similar fill and stroke, and the "Select Similar" step is still there, but again, the disclosure arrow is gone that included the information of "Fill & Stroke". Also, the Fkey associated with that action is gone as well.
When I restore my actions from a saved copy, they are retained from file to file, but once I quit Illustrator and reopen it, the actions break again.
Just upgraded to CS6 and get this error frequently. This is a major problem for me because linked files and document management are essential to my business.

How to correct this
I've just reinstalled Illustrator 10 on my XP PC.Now when I try to get online help I see this message "No default web browser application is selected on your machine"...Of course I DO have a default browser.
I Googled this error and found references like. URL....Any clues; and has Adobe just deleted all their old techdocs?
when I select a swatch for an object the default was to apply it to the fill color. I don't know why but it started applying a swatch when selected to the outline/stroke instead. How can I change the default application of swatches back to the fill color?

I got the full version of CC yesterday and installed Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign apps. I tested them all. They all worked. Today, I have tried to open Illustrator and I am getting the above error message. I'm using Windows 8 (64 bit).
Pressing an F key in CS6 to call an action seems to cause the application to "double up" the action.
At first it was not obvious what was happening, as some shorter/simpler actions run so quickly that it just appeared to be a malfunction with various commands.
This happens with actions recorded in other versions, as well as those created directly in CS6. Running the action in button mode or by hitting the play button in the Actions pane do not cause this doubling. Only with F keys.
We've been able to work around this by inserting stops via the action menu.
Illustrator CS6 (16.0.3) on Mac OS 10.6.8.
I've set up an action that will add crop marks to a selected object. The action works great when clicking the play button on the panel, but when I assign a Function Key to the action, it runs the action twice (giving me 2 set of crop marks). I've tried different Function Keys thinking it was a keyboard shortcut conflict, but that has made no difference.
i am having some actions(*.aia), those actions loaded in script via in illustrator.
