Illustrator :: How To Import Localized Variable Library
Dec 21, 2012
I am setting up illustrations for localization and am running into a problem with loading a modified variable library; for instance, one that has been translated. I getting the message "The incoming variable library is invalid".
I can't seem to find any information on what to do after:
-linking and adding variables and objects in the Variables panel
-taking a snapshot
-saving the variables library file
-copying and translating the variables library file

What the maximum size xml file one can use when making data driven graphics in Illustrator?
I can successfully batch when I load a single variable library with about 100 datasets at one time but anything much larger than that in the same xml format gives me a “the incoming variable library is invalid” error. Elsewhere on this discussion forum I have seen answers say there is no limit to the size of the XML file. [URL]..... But my experience with Illustrator CS5 says otherwise.
1. If there is a maximum size either in file size, number of datasets, or number of variables/values, what the limit is.
2. I still need to create thousands of the final document I am creating - if the limit is close to 100 and I need to create many thousands - scripting or other methods to get this done?

I 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.

Is it possible to get localized names for AutoCAD .NET geometry types?
For example, I want to get "Полилиния" (in Russian) for Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Polyline class.
If there is no solution, where can I get a list of all geometry types to translate them into another language programmatically?

Is there a way to zoom into sections of large images to iWarp them without cropping, iWarping and then copying back over the original image? It's just the tool doesn't allow you to zoom in so it can be difficult to see what you are doing sometimes and performing localised iwarping to requirement necessitates doing this + the iWarp sometimes creates minor differences in the edge of the cropped layer creating problems when trying to re-add it

I am trying to create a localized existing surface from a very large topo. I promoted the existing surface shortcut into my drawing, then created a cropped surface to be put in a new drawing. After creating the cropped surface the new file shows that a surface has been created, however, the surface contains no data. I am using c3d 2012.

If I buy vs pro x5, will I be able to export my present library from pro x4 and import it into pro x5's default library? Will buying the boxed or downloadable version of x5 make any difference in achieving this end? Which is to say, if I download the new x5 version will I lose my present library or will I be able to move it from the old to the new?

I'm making an action for folks at work to use (I'm not well versed enough in scripting to script what I want to do, but an action is passable), and part of this action adds a variable into the open document. The thing is, the variable has to be named a certain thing and it keeps defaulting to Variable1.
Currently I have it set up to create the variable, then open the Variable window and then have a Stop with a note on what to do, but if there's a way to just re-name the variable in the action itself that'd be best (I need this to be as... well, for lack of a better term/phrase, idiot-proof as possible).
Without using a script, is it possible to have an AI action delete an existing variable? I.E. if there's a variable named 'test' by default, can I have an action delete the 'test' variable? I tried recording this but it didn't work and I wasn't able to get consistent results.

Bought full version of VS Pro x4. But, it will not import saved library files (photos,video and audio categorized) from Pro X2. I get window saying, "Files cannot be imported, maybe number of files is not correct or files are invalidated." Is there any way of getting my saved library files from Pro X2 into the new X4 library? Also got 3 FX volumes of New Blue "Video Essentials" in Pro X2. Is there a trick to importing them into X4? What to do?

Cant find a way to import about 400 jpeg images on a DVD(not protected) into the library of VSX5.I have tried various options from the DVD or a folder on the hard drive that also contains the images. I hope to get them showing on the project as a slideshow at the end. If and when I do import them into the project they will need to be resized in the overlay track by dragging to keep the aspect ratio. There are landscape and portrait pics.Can I group them together in ie landscape order and then apply attributes to all to avoid having to do this individually, if so how

I have today UPGRADED TODAY from X4 to X5, and applied the latest patches. Before UPGRADING I went into X4 and EXPORTED my Libraries, assuming that I would be able to IMPORT them back into X5.
Having loaded X5, I try to IMPORT the LIBRARIES that I had exported from X4, and VS X5 says "cannot recognise files" or something similar, meaning I look like having to manually reload all my Library materials which will take me probably DAYS !!!
Have I missed something - there ARE a load of what look like correct files in the folder that I used to EXPORT to from X4 - but when I point X5 at this folder it doesn't want to know ???
SURELY it must be possible to bring forward your Work In Progress foundation Libraries (Titles, Music, Intros etc) to new releases.
For the Upgrade I used the BOXED set discs from Corel - not a download process.

I don't know what I clicked, but all of a sudden above the import column in library, where it usually says"source", there is nothing. I clicked on something (arrows?) and am able to get it to give me a limited choice to choose from, but this is not good. when I have my ext HD attached and want to choose from one of the folders, I have to select one folder at a time, wait for pics to appear, then go back and start over if it isn't the one I want. Be4, all the folders showed up in the column (as well as other sources for pics), and all I had to do was click on one, e.g., COLORSPACE 1, COLORSPACE 15, etc, and pics showed up and I could choose.

I recently created a new catalog and imported all of my files into Lightroom. All my files seemed to come over, including the .jpg files. I then opened a cr2 file in LR and took it to Photoshop for editing. I saved the psd file and it appeared in my library as I expected. I then did a save as to create 3 different jpg files: filename 4x6.jpg, filename 3x5.jpg and filename 5x7.jpg.
None of these three jpgs came back to LR. So I tried to import them. When I click on the "new" option to import only the new files, these three jpgs do not even show up.
One final note, the box for "treat jpg files next to raw files as seperate files" is checked.how I can get LR to include my jpgs in my library?

Lightroom does not appear to recognize my pics in the Mac iphoto library. I can import from other folders/files but not directory from iphoto. Likewise I can't export a photo back into iphoto once it has been "developed" in Lightroom.
Do I have to change some preferences or something?

I'm attempting to write a batch script to add some layers to a pre-existing image and save a copy. I've gone through the tutorial, and have run the demo code from Basic_Batch with no errors, but my (what I think of as simple) script throws an "Error: eval: unbound variable: ?" It also seems to cascade the error to other scripts, as I then get "unmatched parentheses: 2" errors from what I assume to be the script immediately following my own during Script-Fu load. This occurs whether running from batch or clicking "Refresh Scripts" from the Script-Fu menu.
What I could find on this forum and Google suggests that I may be required to 'define' one or more of my variables before using it, but for the life of me, I can't figure out which one that would be, and the error (reporting that '?' is undefined!?) I've quintuply (probably more ~_^) checked my parenthesis matching, but they look fine to me.
In case this was an encoding issue, I've tried saving my .scm file as both UTF-8 and ANSI. I should also note that I'm running Windows 7 x64 in English-US.
Script:
(define (script-fu-build-imagebasefilemytext)(let*((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE basefile basefile)))(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))(title (car (gimp-text-layer-new image mytext "Courier" 18 UNIT-POINT))))(gimp-image-add-layer image title -1)(gimp-image-clean-all image)(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable "K:\\Images\\Temp.gif" "Temp.gif")));
Since I intend for this script to only be run from batch, I haven't bothered including the typical register stuff.

I'm new to Smoke and have an issue. Im importing an xml from FCP and Smoke crashes in the library. I'm taking a class @ FXPHD and the first class is an easy xml import reading the source media.
As soon as I load the xml into the clip library Smoke crashes. I've already gone thru the system set up requirements and have a great machine built to Smoke requirements. I'm wondering if it is a network configuration of some sort? Not sure...

I have a pre-existing graphic uses a stroke with variable with profile (I think) or a special brush to make it look like it's hand drawn. I'd like to apply the same effect to a few new illustrations to keep the style consistent. For whatever reason when I ungroup the graphic and select one of the paths, the stroke weight and variable width profile remain disabled (see pasted toolbar graphic below). The brush still says "Basic" despite the fact that visually it is certainly not the basic brush.
Selected Path
Toolbar (I realize that it says Group instead of Path, but even if I ungroup again and select the path the same options are disabled).

I use Illustrator CS5 and can not blend variable width strokes in Illustrator. I can not do that even with the same width profiles unless they are expanded. I could not find any questions similar on the net regarding this, but wanted to double check before I just made the necessary changes. I'm a bit confused because Adobe 'help' shows how powerful the blends of objects are, but we can't do them as strokes?
I want to keep the blend as strokes not expand them. What is the best way to view how the blend will look with variable widths without expanding and then 'undoing' a bunch of times.
but is there a hot key for expanding the blend without going into object-blend-expand?

In InDesign I am able to assign a variable showing that page.
Example = Page numbers in a book.
Is there a way to do this in Illustrator?
Example = Panels for a structure. Labeling the panel with the artboard name.
For now I am doing this manually. I would LOVE to speed the process up.
DETAILS: The artboard names will exist on the artboard itself when printed (very tiny, in an area hidden by metal posts, for ease of assembly at a construction site). I also need the artboard name to show up outside the artboard in a slug area (much larger for easy viewing in the file).
I'd like to just Change the name of a duplicated artboard, and have those pieces of text change themselves, rather then me typing it in two places for every artboard... I can have almost 100 artboards in one file on the structures I work with.

I now understand about serializing the message, and loading and running external scripts via opening, reading, and sending them within the context of BridgeTalk.
I have a palette window which contains a listbox of items that searches and lists the contents of over 400 products. This pic of the template below is typical for all items. The imprint area shown will change depending on the product.
Script #1:
When the user selects a product from the list, that selection is used to open a file (illustrator template) for that item that shows a guide path box with height and width information for the imprint area on the product. The currently opened illustrator document contains the artwork they are working on at the time. This artwork is copied and pasted to the newly opened template file.
Script #2:
This script contains an array of all the products in the palette list. Within each index of that array, each item will contain the following information:
Example (the name property of each item will match the name of the index box selection from script #1):
var itemArray = new Array();
//p may be saved at index 0 of itemArray
var p = new Object();
p.name ="P- Shape P";
p.width = 189;
p.height = 103.5;
p.pos = [300,564];
I need to send the selection from script #1 to script #2 so I can loop through the array and find a match, at which point the information stored in the properties of the item will be used to scale the art and place it in the correct position on the template. Is there any way to send a variable from script #1 containing the name of the selection via BridgeTalk and have it stored in a variable in script #2? If not, I read somewhere where it might be possible to write/save it to disk and have the second script read it.

I've read a couple of methods for deleting variable-width tool points on a path (NOT path points or paths.)
None of them work for me; is there some trick to doing it?
I have read: A) Hover over the unwanted point (with var. width tool) and hit Delete and B)Select unwanted point with var width tool and hit delete.
Both moves result in the entire path being deleted.
