Illustrator SDK :: How To Create Extension (flex - Extension Builder)

Feb 9, 2012

I'm learning how to create extension (flex - extension builder) for Illustrator and how to make it communicate with a plugin.

The samples provided in the SDK detailed how to load /unload extension from a menu item from Illustrator, and how to add / remove EventListeners to make the magic happen.
 
to sum up, this is something like that:
1- click on the menu item
2- load extension
3- add listeners
4- do your stuff......
5- remove listeners
6- unload extension
 
Basically my plugin is a module/service which is in charge of dealing with / modifying artwork tree. It has no User Interface.

My extension will have a user of this service.  
 
What I would like to do is to load my extension as soon as my plugin is loaded, and unload the extension when the plugin will be unloaded.

Or notify when extension is loaded or unloaded.

Is that possible and hw could I achieve that?

Nov 29, 2011

I'm using Inventor 2011 and I can't figure out how to set my dimension settings so it breaks the dimension extension lines automatically when crossing over other dimension extension lines.  I saw that others say it just happens, but it is not "just happening" for me.  how to set my dimensions so when dimension lines cross each other one of them automatically breaks?

Illustrator SDK :: Close Button (X) On UI Extension

Dec 2, 2011

I am very new to Flex/Flash/Illustrator. Using Illustrator CS5.1, Flex 3.6 SDK in Flash Builder 4.5, and Visual Studio 2010.I am developing a hybrid plugin for Adobe Illustrator.  The plugin is C++ and interfaces with a hardware device and an UI extension built on Flex/Flash.  It uses the CSXS library (version 2.0 based on Flex 3.4 SDK) to perform the communication between the extension and the plugin.
 
When the UI extension closes, I need the plugin to perform some tasks. These tasks might be related to Illustrator and/or to the device it communicates with. If the UI is closed using a button I add to the UI, the plugin runs the tasks as needed.  If the UI is closed using the 'X' button in the corner of the window, I can not get the CSXS interface dispatch events to carry over to the plugin.  This is the same dispatch events used from the UI button that I manually created and works fine.
 
I have tried capturing the exiting event from the NativeApplication and I do see myself entering the associated function to that capture.  The dispatch events run but I do not enter the corresponding functions in the plugin.Below is one of several attempts at making this work (believe this was found on the Adobe forums):
 
public function init() : void
{
      NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.EXITING, windowedapplication1_closingHandler);

protected function windowedapplication1_closingHandler(event:Event):void
{
      event.preventDefault();
      //event.stopImmediatePropagation();
      CSXSInterface.getInstance().dispatchEvent(new CSXSEvent("com.testui.events.closing", CSXSEventScope.APPLICATION));
}
 
Again, windowedapplication1_closingHandler will process but the dispatched event is not seen by my plugin (when the 'X' is clicked).Is there a way to disable/hide the 'X' in the corner of the window?Am I not properly "capturing" and "halting" the exit event?Should I move away from the CSXS Library and use sockets to perform this communication (though the closing of the extension may have the same affect on the socket communication)?I am currently working on Windows 7 64-bit (if that matters) but the plugin will have to work on Mac too.

Illustrator SDK :: Progress Bar As Flash Extension Possible?

Nov 29, 2012

Try to realize the progress bar as a flash extension?
 
i tried to realize a progress bar as a flash extension, but the flash ui with the progress bar freezes, because my time consuming process ssems to block the flash ui.
 
In the first step I moved the time consuming algorithm into a separated thread. At first I used a dummy time consuming algorithm to keep the tests simple and the progress bar worked fine. Then I replaced the dummy algorithm with the real algorithm, but the algorithm did not work. I could not invoke Suite functions of the Illustratok SDK. I assume that after the plugin main thread had invoked my worker thread and returned, some resources are released.
 
In the next step I tried to move the flash extension handling to a separate thread, but then loading the extension by the SDKPlugPlug hangs. I assume that the extension handling is an event based process. Since my new created thread has no event loop, the extension can not communicate with my thread.

Illustrator SDK :: Converting JavaScript To Actionscript For Extension

Apr 14, 2013

Converting some Javascript to Actionscript for an extension.

Have a selection. Need to iterate through selection, and then when finding groups, iterate through groups to get geometricbounds.
 
in Javascript GroupItem.Pageitems[i] will allow me to access properties of items in the group. Actionscript is a big fat 1009 NULL error. Probably some type error since GroupItem is Object?
 
This simple code throws the error. I have two rectangles grouped. That is what is selected.
 
var mySelItem:Array = app.activeDocument.selection as Array;
if (mySelItem[0] is GroupItem){
var myPath:PathItem = mySelItem[0].PageItems[0]
myPath.remove()
 
Line of code that will allow me to access children of GroupItem and get properties?

Illustrator Scripting :: CC Extension Preferences Aren't Being Saved?

Jul 1, 2013

I am trying to save preferences in the onClose function of my extension using the following code:
 
CSXSInterface.instance.storePreference("shapeStrokeSize", model.shapeStrokeSize.toString());
 
But the values I save do no persist and I can't find the prefs file. I am checking in: /Users/mitya/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/preference
 
if I run this same extension in CS6 everything works fine.

Illustrator Scripting :: Regain Keyboard Focus From Extension

May 9, 2013

Have a lovely extension. Such a pretty panel. Useful. Except there is a bug using FlexUI. If you click a flex panel it grabs up keyboard focus and will not let it go unless you click somewhere else. This may be a Mac thing. You can see this behavior in the built in "Kuler" extension. Select object. Click on Kuler panel. Hit delete. Object doesn't go away.
 
Now scouring the intarwebs I've seen a few posts describing this issue, but no fixes for Illustrator. If people know, they ain't telling. I aim to fix that, but first I need to find that answer.
 
Actionscript is just plain slow anyway, so I have my extension logic running from a Javascript. If there was some command in that script to give Illustrator back keyboard focus, even if it's a hack (such as invoke action), now that would be something.
 
Test it by using Kuler and running the script from Illustrator. The act of switching between ESTK and illustrator will fix things, but obviously you don't want to switch applications in the middle of a task.

Illustrator :: Setting Up Action To Save Files In CS4 - File Saving Without Extension

Sep 4, 2012

I'm trying to set up an action to save a batch of files I creating using the variables tool (as detailed in this video: [URL]), I'll go into the Actions window, and record myself  saving the current file in .Ai format, and then stop recording. Seems pretty simple, but when I set that action to run a batch on my dataset it saves all the files without an extension. Am I missing another step where I set the file format that the action is supposed to save with? I'm confused. I've tried this using a few different file formats and they all come up the same.
 
this is what my Output looks like:

Photoshop :: CS6 Extension Panel

Mar 6, 2013

I am a Creative Cloud member.  After installing the last update, my extension panel is not showing the icons associated for some of my extensions.  For example:  I have Russell Brown's extensions: - Adobe Edit in ACR and Flypaper Pro, which is supposed to show a colored icon with the letters ACR and the other a colored icon with a picture of a fly.  Now for these extensions, it shows a pictures of LEGOs - I guess that's Adobe's icon for a plug-in.  All of these extensions are showing in: Window>Extensions.  What's going on? This is what I see in my extension panel:

Photoshop :: EPS File Extension

May 27, 2012

I have a pc with Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, 64 bit and a Raedeon (<sp?) processor.
 
Recently I downloaded a trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS6.
 
I made a New Folder when I downloaded the software ~ if that means anything.
 
My problem is that I need to save files as .eps but when I go to Save As it is not listed. I checked the list of extensions and Ps does have it available. So, I am beside myself wondering why it is not in my drop down list of extensions.
 
I have searched the FAQ's to no avail. However, I am not certain I have been asking my question in a manner in which I would be able to narrow down a relative result.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: DEM File With IMG Extension?

Aug 5, 2009

know of a conversion strategy to get a DEM file that has IMG extension into Map 2008?

We do have Arcview, which will open the IMG file (ERDAS Imagine raster format?), but it will only save this as standard raster formats (jpg, tiff). I am doubtfull that one can use these formats as a DEM in Map.

AutoCAD .NET :: Extension Of Plugin

May 5, 2013

I have a finished plugin (dll-A), which works well.Now I want to write an extension for it (dll B).The function in the expansion are so special that I do not in want to integrate the finished plugin (dll A).I bind the dll to the plugin (dll-A) into the new dll of the plugin (dll B) and inherit the plugin class (class A) in the plugin class (class B).Is loaded by the netload (dll B).

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Exception: eDuplicateKey bei Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Interop.Check(Int32 returnValue) bei Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.CommandClass.AddCommand(ICommandLineCallable ca, MethodInfo mi) bei Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.AutoCADApplicationHolder.Initialize(Assembly assembly) bei Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.ExtensionLoader.ProcessAssembly(Assembly assembly)
Exist in both dll's no duplicate commands!

On debugging looks as if autocad load first dll-A and than load dll-B.

Can it be that the (dll-A) is loaded twice?

Photoshop :: Cs6 - Adobe Extension Manager

Apr 25, 2013

This afternoon, from Photoshop CS6, I purchased and extension through Adobe extension drop down menu called EDGE FX.   It will not install.  As I attempt to do so, it does not list the Photoshop product (only Illustrator, Flash, Premiere, etc).

Here are some screen shots of the dialog boxes I copied.  How do I manage to get this downloaded into Photoshop?  Note in the last of the three screenshots, Photoshop doesn't appear as an option.  I went into manager and a drop down menu doesn't give that option either.  However, the description of the extension describes it as a tool to add interesting boarders to photos.  Therefore, it must be a Photoshop extension.
