Illustrator SDK :: Running Plugin Continuously In The Background
Jan 13, 2014
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.
Details:
OSX 10.9.1
XCode 5.0.2
Illustrator CC 17.0.0

I am incurring a fatal error while i am running a plugin i have developed in .NET. I am using AutoCAD 2012 and .NET 4.0. Where the fatal error occurs is when i am filtering a list for specific colors and specific linetypes to populate a listbox with. I did a quite a bit of reading and the only thing i have found is ( in debug compiler is giving a little more memory space for said collection and when i run it in outside of debug it is not. ) Now i dont really understand how to fix this issue or can verify that it really is the issue. is there some type of setting i can change inside of autocad for debugging so it doesn't completely shut down?

I must do a little job of removing background from lots of people pictures. Most of the pictures are of face only, but they were taken in public spaces, and they have background which I must remove.

I have been trying to get a planet to just spin continuously around - which I can do with a timeline animation - unfortunately the animation starts slowly at the beginning and slows down at the end - even if I loop it.
How do you get it to smoothly rotate forever without speeding up and slowing down. Someone mentioned using the graph editor - but as I said I am new to this.
Is there a tutorial for this sort of thing. I have done a lot of googling without any success.

How come some AI Files I use in a comp, that has the continuosly raterize option checked, becomes soft when the 3d layer option is also checked?
The AI object looks slightly unsharp until I click continuously raterize, then it is good to go to scale anyway I want. But it get blurry again if I click the 3D Layer option.
Note that this blurring takes place whether there is a camera or not in the composition and that nothing is animated so it can't be a motion blur issue.

In my office of about 30 computers and over the course of about 10-12 months we have been experiencing a problem with project navigator. When opening ACAD or changing projects about 60% of the time it gets hung up and the load bar perpetually loads over and over again. If just left to run it takes 5-10 mins to load the project then ACAD will crash after a couple of commands. If opening the task manager and ending the program it will often freeze the computer for about 5-10 mins as well.
We have been actively using the project navigator for years and not until the last yr have we been having this problem. We bought pretty much the whole office new computers a few months ago and the problem still exists. We are running AutoCAD Architecture 2012 and our machines are window 7, intel core i7 3.5 GHz, 8 GB ram, 64 bit operating systems, with a Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphics card. So our machines are solid.

I am using LR 4.3 with Photoshop CS5. I have found that after editing a picture in photoshop (transfer from CR2 to .TIFF file) it correctly transfers back into LR as an updated .TIFF file with all edits from PS. However, on further editing of the picture in LR the image is refreshed after EACH edit (ie. file reloads into LR taking a few seconds). If I am trying to apply an edit as the refresh starts then that edit gets lost i.e. NOT applied. The refresh happends after ANY change to the file. It is very frustrating as it wastes time and makes editing slow (have to keep waiting for a refresh). It does not appear to happen in that way when editing CR2 files.
I have only noticed this feature since installing V4.3 although it may have been happening in previous versions.
I am using W7, i5 2.5 Ghz processor and 8 GB ram with dual screens.

Is my illustrator running slow? I have an i7 3770K, 16gb ram, gtx 660i 2g, h100i, ax1200i and maximus formula v. I'm running dual 24" 1920x1080 monitors. File size is 800x600 pixals with 5 layers and 100+ paths in each layer. Is the program running slow because the file is too big or is there a problem with illustrator?

Is it possible to change the cursor while a script is running? I have several scripts which work on large numbers of objects, and it would be very useful to have the cursor change to the spinning color wheel or hourglass while the script is looping away.
I understand that Adobe's JavaScript Toolkit would let you build a progress-bar dialog, but the delays are rarely long enough to justify such a thing. All the same, a change of cursor would reassure users (and not just me!) that things were indeed happening.

I created a action in Illustrator CS6 (on a PC) which opens PNG files, scales them onto a 8.5 x 11 page, saves them as a PDF into a output folder on my desktop and then closes the page. The action works great and does exactly what I had hoped for.
Here is my issue: I now have a need to do this on multiple files at the same time. Using the Illustrator Help menu, I found out about Batch processing. The tutorial says that a batch can be run on a single file or on a folder of files. Bingo! That's what I want. Problem is, I can't get it to work.
After setting up the batch with the following settings: (note: I didn't use a destination folder because I have the action saving the pdf into an output folder on the desktop).
According to the help page, it said to use Override Action "Open" commands which Opens the files from the specified folder and ignores any Open commands recorded as part of the original action. I thought this is what I needed to open all the files in the folder, because when recording my action, I had to use the open command to open a png file. It wouldn't just let me choose a folder. If I don't have the open command in the action, nothing happens.
My main issue is getting multiple files from within my input folder to open when running the action. The only file that opens is the file that I recorded while creating the action. If I remove that file from the folder, nothing happens at all.

When I want to use the healing brush in Elements 9, having alt clicked to take a sample to brush over an object I want to remove, the brush samples continuously as I brush despite the Alligned check box being unticked. How can I get the brush to just use the original sample rather than going on sampling?

I have a continuously moving looping slide show that has back and next buttons. When you press the next button it should move forward one where ever it is on the timeline every time you click it and the same for the back button.
This is the code I am using but the the problem is that it goes to else {sym.play("one");} when the button is clicked. No matter where in the timeline the next button is clicked, it goes back to number one. I don't know much about coding and I have tried everything to fix this but I am stuck.
var pos = sym.getPosition()
if (pos <= "one"){
sym.play("twenty");
}
else if (pos <= "two"){
sym.play("three");
}
[code]....

I have a problem with polar tracking.Previously it was possible to hover over a point, then define the tracking direction and then specifying the distance. In 2013, the polar and object snap tracking path go away / ends when typing the desired tracking distance. Then the tracking direction has to be defined afterwords, which is new to me.That means that its not possible to define multiple distances continuously AFTER defining the tracking direction.

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...

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 ?
