I have 26,000 images on an external drive (currently designated drive M), almost all tagged and/or rated and indexed in two PSE 11 catalogs on the main PC hard drive. I am just about to replace my PC. I assume that when I connect my external drive to the new PC, it is unlikely to be Drive M. How do I maintain access through the catalogs with all the stored information?

Why does checking "Profile corrections" require to select the manufacturer "Tamron" to automatically detect my Tamron 24-70 F/2.8 Di VC USD A007N? After I pick "Tamron", the lens is properly detected.
As far as I know, Exif-information holds all necessary information on the lens. The Nikon Lens ID value 'FE 48 37 5C 24 24 DF 0E' uniquely refers to that lens.

I am currently trying to retrieve data from a MS Access Database, we currently have iProperties with number values in them. An outside programmer created a code which takes these values and exports them to an MS Access Database, where they are then translated to mean something.
Instead of exporting those numbers, I want to use them to find what they ACTUALLY mean within the database and bring that information back into iLogic. (ie. 123456 actually means "1/4 Flat Bar Steel")
In short, I wish to access the MS Access database through iLogic in order to read information from it.
I have searched for the better part of 3 hours but have not found a good answer or example code of this situation. I am not that experienced in programming, but have worked with the API before for developing Automated Drawings and have an understanding how to navigate through. If there were to be some example code, I can begin to understand the process quite well through this method as well by seeing how to go about coding this.

AIUIDRef uidref=GetUID(GetArt(range));
sAIDocument->GetDictionary(&dictRef);
if(dictRef) {
AIEntryRef entryref=sAIEntry->FromUID(uidref);
AIDictKey dictkey = sAIDictionary->Key("mykey");
sAIDictionary->Set(dictRef, dictkey, entryref);
}
This is the code I am using to save the uid in dictionary. The code executes. Not sure if it saves uid or not. But illustrator crashes when document is closed.

The dictionary in the Character Palette always defaults to English USA in CS6. I have changed the setting Preferences > Dictionary and Hyphenation to English UK, but the Character Palette doesn't change, even though the setting remains changed in Prefs. I have opened each of the New Document Profiles in ..AppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Illustrator CS6 Settingsen_USx64New Document Profiles (Windows 7) and changed the language in the Character Palette to English UK, and it STILL goes back to English USA!

when trying to set an entry value in an art object's dictionary with AICS6 SDK. I have a native winow handler set on a toolbar where I have set a few buttons.
When I click on the "Outline" button, it is supposed to set an entry (named "FB_CurveType") in the dictionary of the selected art object.
newKey = pAIDictionary->Key("FB_CurveType");
pAIArt->GetDictionary(hArt, &dataDict);
pAIDictionary->SetIntegerEntry(dataDict, newKey, type);
[Code]....
The returned art handle is valid (not NULL) and I can successfully set the value, and re read it immediatly after setting it (even when disposing/re-getting a reference to the dictionary).
The problem comes when I click on "Get Data", it is supposed to loop through each art handle in the document, and check if it has an entry called "FB_CurveType" in its dictionary. Unfortunately, the returned Art Handle's dictionary is empty, and no error code is returned by the SDK functions.I have also noticed that the art handle's value is not the same as the one in the selection code above, at first I thought "Well, maybe that's because Illustrator returns some dynamicaly allocated pointer or something", but when I'm clicking on "Outline" again, the art handle's value is the same as the one in the previous call.
My guess is that my function to get all the art objects in the document makes an older or a pale copy of the real art object. Here is the function :
void GetArtsByType(AIArtType artType, AIArtSet set)
{
AIArtSpec specs[1];
[Code]....

is there a way to clear all stored variables in ES? I could set them to null at end of script, but this would be really annoying. Sometimes I just need to write some quick ditry code and don't want to worry about clearing them.

I am using two screens and moving Illustrator to the larger screen from my laptop so that I can see things better. I am still using CS2. One day for reasons I still do not understand, my PDF dialog box disappeared. Illustrator thinks it is there, but the only thing I can do is escape out of it. I can't save a file as a PDF, and I need to do that on a regular basis. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS2, but it did not change anything.
How to retrieve a dialog box that has gone off the screens?

I am a AutoCad drafter for telecommunications and I have utility pole points (long/lats)
I can insert the poles via long/lat and all is great, my issue is I would like more information in those points.
For example, pole number, class, HOA, Make Ready. Currently I create a survey data store and import ASCII Points using PNE(comma delimited)
So with my Excel file (this is where I get my pole information from) I get a point/northing/easting to enter into the formatting section.
I would like to add more information to these individual points, like ploe number, class, HOA...
If I view the point table I see that there are a lot of other columns, can I use them or customize them? is there a quick tutorial on this issue?

just trying to maximise efficiency of my workload by having Illustrator print the File Information as the Artboard name.
At the moment I'm having to label the work itself which I don't want to do. I needs to be an addition I can add for referencing so other people don't confused.

I've created a panel that gets populated with project specific information that a user provides.I want to save out this information along with the project and read it back in to repopulate the panel when the project is reloaded.
Is there a way to save my project specific information in the saved .ai file?

Windows 7. AI CS5
It appears that Illustrator is no longer keeping file association information with my placed images. If an image is linked, it works fine. However, embedded images have no File Location and simply say its "Embedded" (No file associated with this image).
I understand that this is correct for pasted images. But I have tried both placing an image with the link box, and changing a Linked image to Embeded.
I am not sure when i noticed this change, but its been some time now. Trying to figure out if its related to the AI version, the OS version, or what.
This is not isolated, since all the art stations here (100 or so) do the same thing. And I am pretty sure I noticed this when we were on Vista as well..

I am programming an Illustrator plug-in for flexible modifying the width of stroked lines created by the Paintbrush Tool or Pencil Tool. The way of width modification should be similar to the "Width Tool".
Now I would like to have access to the painted area of the stroke lines, which I want to modify. With the Width Tool it is possible to modify the borders of the painted area very flexible. That is the same I want to do in the first step, but I do not know how to access these borders of the painted areas of stroke lines. I would like to know which Suites/functions are responsible for dealing with the painted area of stroke lines.

I have an AI (bundled in CS6) document that has a large number of objects in it - approx 200. Single artboard, single layer.
These objects (right word?) are a combination of placed .png files, polygon/primitives (mostly circles) and text labels. I would like to quickly create and export a .txt or a .csv file that has the following coordinate and size information about each object in the AI document:
Pos (x,y)
Size (w,l)
Is there a menu feature? If not, is there a suggestion for a script? Would like to save a day's work going object by object and manually transcribing this information into a text file.

I am currently working on a project which requires me to run a script several times, probably over 200 times. Ive been racking my brain serveral times over and cannot figure out how to have the selected layer be renamed by its color information. Ive also tried to maybe build a new layer command into the current action I am using, but i keep having a dialog box pop up which interrupts the rest of the action.
Also, is there a way to automate an action according to a swatch. Meaning if I select a swatch can i have it perform the action and then move on to the next swatch in the list, or until the swatch list has been completed.

We are having problems with text in Illustrator CS6.
1. When we copy / paste text within illustrator all color information is lost.
2. When we save documents in Illustrator CS6 then re-open text with color attributes changes to different random colors!!
For example: If we save an Illustrator document with a paragraph of text that is part red and part black when we re-open the same paragraph might be all gray, or orange or (you pick a color).

I use Illustrator CS6 on OS X 10.8. Yesterday I noticed that my PDFs come out as blank files with the text
This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was saved without PDF Content.To Place or open this file in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the Save As command.
which is actually a description that typically appears in AI files saved without PDF compatibility. It's not document-wise but rather application-wise issue because it happens even if I create a new Document, draw something in the middle of the canvas and save it. Also, all of my existing documents which used to save well before, do that now. Basically, I cannot save correctly a single PDF. But it seems that the exported documents must contain the data because they have different sizes based on the content.
There's no problem with saving in AI format.

I have a dictionary in the NOD with several xrecords. I want to change an entry value in one but the others in the dictionary also get changed. How would they be connected?
This is some simplified code that looks at two xrecords, changes one, then reports the new values. Weird thing is that both xrecords get changed.
For i = 1 To 2 XRecId = MyAppDict.GetAt(i) XRec = trans.GetObject(XRecId, OpenMode.ForRead) ed.WriteMessage(vbLf + "XRecord: " & i & " First Entry: " & XRec.Data(0).value) Next XRecId = MyAppDict.GetAt(2) XRec = trans.GetObject(XRecId, OpenMode.ForWrite) Dim data As ResultBuffer = New ResultBuffer(New TypedValue(DxfCode.Int16, 2), New TypedValue(DxfCode.Text, XRec.Data(1).value)) XRec.Data = data For i = 1 To 2 XRecId = MyAppDict.GetAt(i) XRec = trans.GetObject(XRecId, OpenMode.ForRead) ed.WriteMessage(vbLf + "XRecord: " & i & " First Entry: " & XRec.Data(0).value) Next

After installing AutoCAD on 3 new Windows 7 workstations, one of them can't find the main dictionary. I can find dictionaries (*.dct) by using the Windows Search function, but when I try to specify a path with the Options command, I'm told that there are "None available". What do I need to do to get a dictionary path loaded?

On a previous computer I used Illustrator for, when I would draw or make selections, next to the cursor in a small black box with white text, there would be the dimenstions information. It was similar to what you'd find in the Window>Info panel but simplified and would let you know how big the selection you're making is. I've looked all over the Preferences and can't find it.
