Is there any plugin to make the pen tool from illustrator behave/work like the pen tool from Photoshop. Both pen tool behave differently , and i am not used to the way of the pen tool behave in illustrator.
I have an Illustrator plugin which installs several tools. I want to have a panel pop up for each tool when the user selects a tool.
All the SDK examples I have seen create a main flex panel when the extension loads up. I do not want to any panel to appear when the extension is loaded. I want to load the extension and then popup panels only when a tool is selected.
I have been looking for a plugin that adds a tool to slowly slim lines as you draw. For example, as you draw a line, the line starts off thick, but as you draw the line it gets thinner.
When I do localization for illustrator plug-in on Windows, I found the method now I can use is generating one plug-in for each language. I only wan to create one plug-in which can link many language resources. If system language changes, the plug-in can auto load appropriate language resource.I can't find more information about localizaiton in illustrator SDK, what I found is IAILocale.h,but it seems that not enough...
I am under development of a plugin.The plugin used to get loaded upto the recent times.AI gives a message "Error loading plugins XXXX.aip" with no further details.Code is with no compilation error (of course )
When working with multiple documents, and I switch from the "current" document to another, is there some way I have to notify my plugin that I have a different document, or does my plugin always ASSUME it is working on the "current" document. I ask this in conjunction with Dictionarys, as when I switch documents, I cannot access what I think is the dictionary for the current document. Is there some type of document-dictionary relationship I am missing ?
I have a plugin that should work on both Illustrator CS5 and CS6. CS6 also supports 64-bit illustrator.Can i create a 64-bit configuration for the CS5 SDK and make the plug-in work on Illustrator CS6 64-bit?
Plugin or a script or something that can do Cropping like Kimbo did, but for CC?no one would try to replicate that function.this is the plug I'm refering to URL...but I actually only care for the rectangle cut tool. it is very hepful for cropping nasty autocad imports.
Aome type of vector library plugin for Illustrator CS6. I need somewhere I can drag commonly used vector elements in illustrator (similar to that of the library in indesign), in the past I used dbpalette from Baby-Universe but they have no idea when its going to be updated, so I'm on the search for a replacement. I tried the symbol library but never had much luck with it. I'm on a MacPro running 10.8.3.
I want to open a ".AI" image and need to convert it into ".JPEG" format by using custom menu item in file menu.
I have done with menu item in file menu now I want to write a code that will convert a current active document (.ai) into a new (.jpeg) formate document.
I don’t know how to load an image into SDK ArtHandler and save as it with a new formate.
I've recently subscribed to Creative Cloud, and downloaded some of the new Creatie Programs, as Photoshop, Muse ands Illustrator.
I understand that Illustrator CC isn't compatible with some of my older plugins, but i don't understand that instead of simply avoid loading them, it CRASHES too! That issue forces me to find the plugin that was guilty of the crash, remove it from the plugins folder, and then start again.
This has happened me twice: with the font agent pro autoactivation filter, and with the inkling sketch manager of wacom
I must insist: what really annoyes me is the fact that the program crashes instead avoiding the loading of the outdated plugin.
After reinstalling multiple times, uninstalling Wacom drivers, etc. -- tracked it down to a plugin.The newest update for AI CC is not compatible with the Silhouette Studio plugin.
Not a happy camper over lost time and productivity, but fortunately I had my CS5 disks.
I'm completed my plugin and want to make release packget.My plugin have two parts:
1. UI write FlashUI abcUI.zxp 2. Control write by Illustrator plugin abc.aip
The same StrokeFilter and StrokeFilterUI project.Now I want to combine they. And make setup program to release (no need to use Adobe extension and add plugin in Illustrator manual)
I perform certain actions within its handler menu goМenuItem - delete some objects; do other invisible; run through certain actions by PlayActionEvent(), e.t.c. then export the file again through PlayActionEvent("adobe_exportDocument" ...) and see that after all my activities were canceled - a document recovered to the initial state, and after each export and save the need to repeat the entire sequence again. Moreover, on some computers to export certain actions randomly do not work.
I'm just starting out trying to make a plugin for Illustrator CC and have been a bit stuck the past few days, so I have a few questions. The plugin I'm trying to make would have it where when you mouse over a path, an annotation pops up to display the length of the path, reguardless of what tool you have selected.
The major question I have is if it is possible to make a plugin that runs in the background without having to select it as a tool?
I've been going over the SDK and guides and have tried altering the annotator sample project along with trying to make it from scratch, but I haven't gotten the results I want. I got Annotator to display the length of paths, but I can't remove it's tool properties or make it run like it's always selected. When I've been tryng to build from scratch, I don't see how to track the cursor since it seems to need the AIToolSuite. I've also tried to use AINotifierSuite with kAIArtSelectionChangedNotifier, but haven't gotten it to work correctly and it wouldn't work just by mousing over paths if I had.

I was wondering if there is a completions package with AI scripting properties for text editors like sublime text or textedit. I'm assuming no as I found nothing and I don't understand how to make one myself.
the extendscript toolkit is very slow for me. the data browser specially is very cumbersome to look through and referencing the pdf is no fun neither.
I've been saving down cad files and opening in AI for about 6 months now with no problems. Now it won't recognize any CAD files, no matter how I save it down, I 've tried 2010 and 2004.
can i write a plug in c#(or any other language) for import/export a screen of the adobe illustrator cs6 in html (or any other format) if document of web type.
