Is there a menu command equivalent for turning current layer visibility off?
Is there an equivalent to adjustment layers in photoshop, in illustrator? I really want a curves adjustment layer.

It's a shame that Illustrator's scripting ability isn't as robust as InDesign's.
Â
I have a script that goes through every path in a file and records all of the colors used in it. The problem is that it stumbles when faced with certain types of "PluginItem"s. I've been able to fix some of it, such as when it comes across a "Compound Shape" (as opposed to a Compound Path or other normal Illustrator object). In such an instance I can select the path, then call a menu command to expand that selection:
Â
if (currentItem.typename == "PluginItem")
{
   currentItem.selected = true;
   app.executeMenuCommand("expandStyle");
   currentItem = app.selection[0];
   app.executeMenuCommand("deselectall");
   colorsInUse(currentItem);
}
Â
I had to do some scrounging to figure out how to execute that "Expand Appearance" command that is in the "Object" menu in Illustrator. In fact, the only resource I discovered was a list that is partially in Japanese. By the way, that last item in the list is a recursive call to the same function in which this if statement resides.
Â
So, the above code works for "PluginItems" that can be rectified with a call to the "Object -> Expand Appearance" menu item. What about those that don't, such as an enveloped object? With those, I'd normally just run the command above "Expand Appearance", called simply "Expand…" Well, that menu items pops up a dialog which, when the user clicks "OK" on it, will properly expand the enveloped object so that the script can continue reading the paths that made it up and get fill & stroke colors.
Â
I can call this menu item with a simple "app.executeMenuCommand("Expand3");", but my problem is that dialog which appears. I don't want the user to have to click "OK" on it every time it pops up when the script wants to expand that object, but the traditional "app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;" method doesn't work.
Â
Is there any way to expand enveloped items without having a dialog pop up on the user?
Today i opened a psd file which 200 layers. Paint.net is very slow then (as all layers are flatten, pdn is missing hierarchical layers), but that is another problem.
I wanted to hide some background layers and "copy merged" a selection.
It took me 10mn to find all the backgrounds layers without this tool.
In photoshop the tool exist as a property of the "move selection" tool. Ie: you must first select the move selection tool, then select "layer" in the properties toolbar.
Any way to get that for v4 ? Will v4 be on github so we can clone and make patches ?
Today i've noticed that when i copy/paste a timeline from Premiere CC to AE CS6 unfortunately nothing happens. So i can't dynamic link or copy/paste footage in AE CS6. I can only use AE CC. Usually i make my edit in Premiere and then i use the same timeline in AE to do postproduction. If i uninstall AE CC can i be able to copy/paste my timeline in AE CS6 from Premiere CC?
I can't install Premiere CS6 because i use an MXO2 card.I can run AE,Photoshop and Encore CS6 with CC apps on the same machine,but not Premiere CC and Premiere CS6 at the same time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter copying a value in clipboard like "1566.78" when I want to draw a line while my cursor is on my drawing space I write "0," and then hit "Ctrl+v" it draws line point on "0,1566.78". But this is not working fine in my home Cad, When I draw a line in same procedure and when I hit "Ctrl+v" after writing "0," it pastes the value "1566.78" as a text.
To do this right I have to click on command line to draw a point but in office I don't have to click on command line. I also import the office profile *.ARG in home Cad but still not working.

In photoshop cs 6, if i right click on any layer, with the move tool [black arrow], the menu shows lots of layer names which contains my layer too.
Â
On the other hand in Photoshop cs5 and earlier versions this right click thing would show the name of only, only the layer on which the mouse was clicked, not a big list that’s a pain in the head. Takes so long to choose the layer I wanna work.

I have experienced this problem on windows xp 32 bit and windows 7 64 bit. All the systems were free of viruses and I also did this experiment with different files. What’s wrong in cs6?
I have the layers tab open in my toolbox, so I can see all the layers listed. I'm wondering if there is a fast way to find a layer. I'd like to click on my image and (ideally) see the layer highlighted in the toolbox, so I don't have to search for it.

Out of curiosity I also opened up the file in text edit to see if there was anything obvious, and here's some of the code. I'm assuming this is preview text for search, but either way seems a bit fishy.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Photoshop I've seen it's possible to select or move the contents of a selected layer by clicking and dragging *anywhere* on the canvas, which avoids the problem of misclicks inadvertently deselecting the current layer (and selecting another instead). This happens especially when trying to select thin, hard-to-see, or small graphics mixed with bigger graphics on other layers.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently writing a series of routines for setting the layers for text, leaders and dimension commands. The end goal is a system where any annotation command sets the correct layer for the duration of the command, then reverts back to the layer that was active before the command.
I have managed to complete all the code, and it appears to be working fine, I just have one question: I have used -layer "m" "Lay_name" etc... for all layer setting commands, rather than any code to see if the layer exists already. In my limited testing this seems to be suitable, nothing that exists on that layer seems to be affected.
I know how to write code to determine if the layer exists already and set the layer instead, but so far it seems unnecessary??
There's a great bog eyeball, which, as most eyeballs, is not perfectly spherical, and has a bug bump where the cornea juts out over the iris area. The eye is open, with eyelids above and below the iris, the upper covering the top of the iris somewhat. As the eyeball rotates, it should deform the eyelid, esp. the upper eyelid. What's the next way to make eyelids conform to the eyeball as it rotates, we can use cloth if necessary, but if there's an easier way, with constraints, lattices, etc. Like if there's a lattice on the eyelid whose control points get pushed away by the front of the eye, then fall back as it rotates away, or something..

I would like to build my own menu with scripts that I use alot. This is a powerful feature that I use alot in other programs, but I have not seen any examples of this in illustrator.
I want to know if I have understand this correctly or not: layer previous undos the last change in layer related command. Then If my last action is on layer, unod command will do the same. layer previous advantage is when you want to perform an undo which is not your last action.
