I'd like to export certain properties from an ai-document to XML. The XML will be post-processed using XSLT. Secretly, I'm hoping that I can invoke the Reflection-system (as mentioned brifely, I might add) in the ExtendedScript Toolkit CS6 Core JavaScript Classes.
How to get reflection working for JavaScript objects (both built-in and the ones I've created in code my self)? Are there any guides that are relevant in my case? (Try googling "illustrator script reflection" and you get a bunch of flip object scripts ...)
I'm looking for a method to change the status text in an illustrator drawings' titleblock by changing metadata fields linked to fields in a drawing.
At work we are using SolidWorks EPDM for managing workflows in the engineering and design departments. This includes having the program set the file status texts in titleblocks of drawings/reports. The way this works is that the metadata of a file (Custom properties for SolidWorks and Ms Office files) is changed by EPDM. The Next time the file is opened the fields linked to the metadata are automatically shown the new value. Also if the file is in a read-only state (so non-editors still see and print the correct version of the file).
This method does not work for PDF and AI files since we can not access any properties. This means that our illustrators who design labels,etc. need to open these files themselves and change texts. Even if files are at a stage they should not be modified any more.
Trying to see what the properties of an object are so I wrote a function, doesn't seem to work though. it is definitely an object though.

function printType(obj) {
var key;

if(obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {

the properties palette started only showing the current properites for the drawing and not the properties of the entity selected. what causes this i am using autocad civil 3d 2013.

Somehow the Properties Palette has gotten less wide- such that I can't read teh actual properties. Previously I was able to make it wider just by hovering over it, clicking on an arrow and dragging it wider. Not now.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy ai doc has a stretched font and when i subsequently added indepented words/phrases in different locations, they are all stretched as well. I only wanted the one stretch, so I will have to go in manually and will never get them exact, or just start fresh, so I wondered if there is a way to restore them to their original properties. Also is there a way to avoid what I did? It also stays in "stretch mode" when I typed in a different font, which is how I noticed because the o's are supposed to be almost a perfect circle and they were ovals, so it was obvious, although the first font wasn't to me.

Some options like height, width, etc. are shown, but not layer, style, etc. from the General portion of the Basic tab.
Is this going to be a reinstall scenario or is there a fix for this?
I recently upgraded from LT2013 to LT2014. I never had any issues with 2013, but now seem to be battling with 2014. My OS is Windows 7 Home edition.
When selecting an object and then clicking the properties menu, the properties of the selected object are not displayed, but instead the properties of the selected layer are shown.
In the attached screenshot:
1) My active layer is "AM_VIEWS".
2) The layer of the object that is selected is "MEDIUM".
3) The properties dialog box shows the properties of my active layer and not the selected object.
I am therefore unable to override any settings of the selected object and manually change settings e.g. Linetype, Linetype scale etc.
I recently had to reinstall my AutoCAD LT 2008 and now when I open the properties palette to make adjustments to dimensions and fine tune, many peramiters that used to be visible are no longer there and accessible. I used to be able to adjust the dimscale as needed in the properties window, but can't now. How do I get it back?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to set up my drawings so that the title block displays properties from the model. I want to set this up so there will be drawing properties to extract into Vault. So I want to know what other Inventor and Vault users are doing to get model properties into Inventor drawings: Using model properties in the title block and nothing to extract in Vault or Copy model properties so Vault has data to extract.
I want to know what the best in class practice is? What are others doing? I do not want to use iLogic I was out of the box Inventor functionality.
I'm having serious issues in Illustrator CS5 trying to import SVG files with nested clip-path properties.
Illutrator seems to create unnecessary groups, and messes up with group parents, effectively screwing things up.
Here is a minimal example :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" [<!ENTITY ns_svg "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><!ENTITY ns_xlink "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">]>
<svg version="1.1" id="main" overflow="visible" xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<g id="piece-1">
<g clip-path="url(#cpform)" id="form1">
<g clip-path="url(#cplogo)" id="logo1">
<rect fill="#FF0000" x="10" y="10" width="1000" height="1000" />
[Code]...
Such a valid SVG file displays fine in Chrome, IE, Opera, Firefox, but Illustrator fails loading it properly, because it creates two groups between "main" and "piece-1" (which is in itself not too bad), and sets piece-1 as a brother of another unnecesarry group from which piece-2 will descend. piece-2 and piece-1 are then clipped with piece-1 clip-path, which is just plain wrong and screws display.
Note that you can move piece-2 to the root of the document, which restores the display. But save this fixed file, and open it again : it"s back to its broken state.
Does anoyone know if this is fixed in CS6 ? If there is a workaround ?
I was expecting that existing artwork on a perspective grid would move/adapt when changing grid properties like vanishing point etc. but it looks like the artwork just stays unchanged.
I couldn't find anything on the net - is there a way to change the artwork accordingly with the perspective grid?
For the last couple weeks I've been unable to view object properties or quick properties. If I right click on an object and select quick properties, a blank window comes up:
Similarly, if I bring up a properties window and select an object, the selection field remains blank and the object property fields are not populated with information relating to the selected object:
I finally got some Lisp scripts working. They generate a block library from a CSV file. The script reads the file, and generates a simple rectangular block based on dimensions on the line. I have another script that can read a csv of block names and values, and add these as attributes to the block.
The attributes added are simple, like "weight" and "max stack qty". I would like to be able to see these values in the properties tab or in quick properties. In my CUI I have "Display Custom Attributes" checked under "block reference".
However, when I select a block, no attributes show up. I can get it to show me things like "name" and all of the scaling values, just no attributes.
Properties box is really long (horizontally). (see attachment)
When I select an object, then right mouse and pick "Properties" the box containing the different things to change is so long it runs off my screen and goes into my 2nd monitor.

uses an online backup system called carbonite. It saves her pictures, however, it does not appear to be saving her "tags" or cataloguing system.
I can find no reference to metadata in photoshop nor any index referencing system to associate tags with a file name.
Is there a way to implement metadata into her photos to integrate the tag info into the pictures? OR Is there a way to backup the index so that if she should have to reload lost data the pictures AND their associated tags are recovered?
Is there anyway to animate anything in the object properties like visible to reflections?
