Illustrator SDK :: How To Change The Title Of Document
Oct 17, 2012
I have created a Document using sAIDocument->New().
Later I would like to change the title of the document, which I originally passed in on the AINewDocumentPreset.docTitle.
how I can do this programatically, or do you have to remove the document and start again?

When I save an Illustrator (CS4 and below) file that has a document title and an author in the File Info tabs only the author field is properly transferred to the metadata of a PDF when using Save As PDF. The title field of the PDF gets the file name ("map_data_2006") and not the document title ("Map of Data in 2006"). How do I keep from re-populating the PDFs with metadata (which increases the file size after a resave) which is already stored in the AI files?

Can I change the default typeface in an Illustrator CC document? (I wouldn't use Meridian to win a bet.)

When I add a logo to my artwork in illustrator, import the illustrator file to a word template and print, it changes the printed colours dramatically..(black to blue, green to black and yellow to pink). Do I need to change a setting for that imported logo to make it compatible to print? Without that particular logo, the document prints fine.

I would like to make the active layer name the same as the document name. I know very little about scripting. I found this script:
var idoc = app.activeDocument;var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;var filename = idoc.name;ilayer.name = filename;
It does almost what I need it to do. except that it also copies the ".ai" in to the layer name. Is there some way to modify this script to have it exclude or delete the file extension?

Apparently, in the CS3 is impossible to do any scripting and using any actions. Can it be done using plugins sdk, without creating a new document? I tried using the functions SetPageSetup and SetCropBox but no effect

I love the new versions of Illustrator, but get left in the dust with new innovations that I can't figure out.
I am trying to go to File > Document Setup and all I get is a new dialog box that completely leaves out page orientation and page size as well. I just want to have an artboard that is 11" x 8 1/2" but there is nothing I see in menus or in palettes that give the old comfortable page orientation change that you used to be able to do in older versions of Illustrator. How do I set page or artboard size and orientation?

My work involves importing in new documents and formating them correctly. We have a specific font style that is different than the original font. Illustrator cannot read those fonts, so it defaults to Myriad Pro in the original text size. Since it is changing it from Myriad Pro to Arial, I don't really have a problem with the global change that this would have.
I already have the [Character Styles] options set up for a template, but this does not work on new documents.
We are on Windows 7 with CS6.

PC, Windows 7, AI CC..I have a document that displays units in points, and when I change the unit type to inches in the preferences panel and the Document Setup panel, the change won't apply.
I've tried saving as a new document, restarting, etc. I even tried setting the units to other units... doesn't matter what I have the units set to in preferences, it's always displaying points.

changing the file path for links in an Illustrator document?
For example, let's say my Illustrator document is stored at: /Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/designs/concept1.ai
and I have placed 2 linked visuals:
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/big_retouch.psd
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
When I open the .AI I noticed that the reference to the visuals is under a %DocumentFiles section:
%%DocumentFiles:/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/retouc hed.psd
%%+/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
I need to replace "/Volumes/Storage/Projects" with "/Volumes/Projects". (There are some more complex replacements I need, but let's start here.)

set color to "C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=90"

end tell
i understand this is quite basic but its all i have to start with at the moment

In AI CS6 can you change your XY Ruler origin to automatically start in the lower left of your document?
I am coming from AI CS4. In AI CS4 when you would open or creat a new document, your X Y origin would alway start on the lower left hand side.
Now when you open a new document in CS 6 the origin starts in the uper right. If I hand drag the ruler down to the lower left, the Y coordinant reads as a negative number.

In PS CS4 Mac, I used to be able to print the full document info that appears in the title bar, including the currently selected layer/group. This would print at the top of my document and might look like:
File Name.psd 100% (layer name, RGB/8)
I always thought this was a function of selecting "Label" in the Output window of the print dialogue box. However, it does not seem to be working anymore, and now it simply prints the file name, like this:
File Name.psd
How can I turn this feature back on so that I get the entire document window? Or another method to accomplish something similar? I am printing individual layers from a single document and having them automatically "labeled" is useful.

Using PS CS6, Windows 7 x64.
I was under the impression that when hovering my mouse over the document title bar, I would see a tooltip showing the full file name, including the path. This isn't happening and I'm wondering if there is a way to do this. I know I can click File > Save As, or Ctrl+Shift-S to see the full path, but hovering over the title bar would be easier. (What I am seeing now in the tool tip is the file name, % magnification and which layer I have selected. Basically, the tool tip is just showing what's in the title bar without hovering.)

i have a title block in the layout tab which i use for all new docs. when starting a new drawing i open my old one, delete the drawings and save it with a new name - this way i always have my title block how i want it in the Layout 1 tab. this has worked for me so far. but now I need to create an A3 print out.
i have created the picture that i need in modelspace but when i click in the viewport within the layout and select the scale that I have been asked to use, the pic becomes too big for the page.
when i go into page setup i can select a3 and preview this but it just shows my a4 page in the middle of an a3 page. so how to i make the titleblock and viewport bigger (to fit a3)?

what I meant is I have a title in white and want to change it a few seconds into the clip to another color. obviously I could replicate the title and using the titler color the fonts with whatever color I wanted, but is there a simpler, quicker way to do the change in color within this same clip , perhaps using keyframes?

I am working on a new project in X5 and I want to change character size in Title mode. When I click on the box with 30 as default size I get only a white line under this box instead of a box with the different character sizes. IWhen I want to apply animation to the text than I got also a white line under the box where the different types of animation should be shown.

We have decided to have a company re-brand.
This involves a New Logo and slight colour change!!!
We have booklets with up to 30 layout tabs in each one.
Is there a quick way to change the border and title block colour on all these layouts rather than have to do a quick select on each tab!!

I am trying to change the title block of the active sheet using visual basic. I realize this can be done using a snippet in iLogic, but I am creating an external .dll file using Visual Studio.
I have tried...
ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.Definition = "Title Block Name"
ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.Definition.Name = "Title Block Name" (This changes the name of the title block in the browser but doesnt swap it out.)
Call ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.Definition("Title Block Name")

I can't for some reason get this rule to work, simply want to be able to choose what title block to use.
I created a text parameter with the multi-values: TES ELE and TES EQU
I have 2 title blocks in my template called TES ELE and TES EQU
Here is my code, basically, I want to rule to apply the title block based on the selection, which will be done on a form.
If Title = "TES ELE" ThenActiveSheet.TitleBlock = "TES ELE"ElseIf Title = "TES EQU" ThenActiveSheet.TitleBlock = "TES EQU"End IfInventorVb.DocumentUpdate()ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
I have found many threads in this forum and have used their solutions for this rule, but for some reason, my rule will not select the title block and place it in the drawing.
Here is a snap of my set-up and my template file is attached
Inventor Professional 2014-Update 2 - AutoCAD Electrical 2014
Win7-x64 | ASUS P8Z77-V | i7 3770 -3.4 GHz | 32GB RAM |

Is there any macro-command to do this :
"Open the .idw that you created your title block in. Locate and right click on your title block in "drawing resources". Select copy. Open the file that you want to put your title block in. Right click on "drawing resources" and paste your title block there. Now you will have to delete their title block and then activate yours. "
I want to change my drawing template and I have many to do and it must have somewhere somehow a way to do this automatically?

I have tried to change the size of the text in the title block and in other places within a drawing, but the changes are ignored. They always come back to Tahoma 0.120"
Is this a bug in the program?
Inventor 2013 with the latest service packs, etc.
I really need to make some changes to the title block and making the text smaller is one of them.

I am currently working with fx parameters and iLogic to drive a model and it's corresponding drawing to change based on a single user parameter.
I have managed to get the drawing to update both the scale of the views I need and the size of the sheet with the change in parameter using the following rule:
IfParameter("EB75551.ipt.Rise")<1801Then
ActiveSheet.ChangeSize("A1", MoveBorderItems :=True)
ElseIfParameter("EB75551.ipt.Rise")>1800Then
ActiveSheet.ChangeSize("A2", MoveBorderItems :=True)
EndIf
However when i attempt to use this with the title block using the function:
ActiveSheet.TitleBlock="My Title Block"
in place of the sheet change size it brings up the error message:
Error in rule: Drawing Title Block, in document: Drawing
The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))
I have read elsewhere that this is due to me having prompted entries for the scale and drawn by fields, however when i use the function designed for prompted entries: ActiveSheet.SetTitleBlock("Other Title Block", "promptedEntry1", "promptedEntry2")
It fills in the prompted entry fields from the code and if i change these entries in the "edit field" option they are overwritten when it is updated.
Is there a way have the prompted entries when you open the drawing fill in the "promptedEntry1" field in the rule so that I can use the rule? Or am I going about it the wrong way?
I should point out i'm new to iLogic and no-one in my workplace can use it so each person changing the "promptedEntry1" field to the scale they wish isn't a wise move.
