Illustrator Scripting :: Evaluate Text Frames
Mar 23, 2013I want to evaluate text frames for their x axis and if they are the same shift them slightly because of adobes irritating habit of combining the text frames when it makes a PDF. I have been able to evaluate, but not exactly like I want to but I know it can be done...
var mydoc = app.activeDocument;var mytext = mydoc.textFrames;var allX_Vaues = new Array();for (i =0; i < mytext.length; i++) {var mytextFrames = mydoc.textFrames[i];var theMatrix = mytextFrames.matrix;allX_Vaues.push(theMatrix.mValueTX)var firstEval = allX_Vaues//$.writeln(theMatrix.mValueA+"
"+theMatrix.mValueB+"
"+theMatrix.mV alueC+"
"+theMatrix.mValueD+"
"+theMatrix.mValueTX+"
"+theMatrix.mV alueTY);//alert(allX_Vaues);}//alert(allX_Vaues[1]);for (i =0; i < allX_Vaues.length; i++) {if (allX_Vaues[i] == allX_Vaues[i + 1] ) {alert(allX_Vaues[i] + " and " + allX_Vaues[i +1] + " are the same");}else{alert(allX_Vaues[i] + " and " + allX_Vaues[i +1] + " are different");} }
[code]....
my problem is when I try to move text frames. It flies way of the page. I just want to move the text a slight amount and concatenate is the only way I have been successful. my question is: Is there a better way and why is my text flying so far of the page?

Illustrator Scripting :: Regex - Limit Input To A Positive Number (float Or Int)
May 14, 2013I wish to limit the user input of and edittext to only allow a positive number, float or int. I do not yet know my Regex good enough to do this. I realize that I must get better at regex but in the meantime how to do this ?
I have used this so far on the edittext:
function checkTextInput()
{
if (this.text.match(/[^0-9.]/g))
{
this.text = this.text.replace(/[^0-9.]/g, "");
}
}
Which matches
000.0001
0.45.000.1
...1
which is not desired.
Desired is
0.n
.n
n.n
Illustrator Scripting :: Allow To Select Image To Replace Any Number Of Selected Files
Apr 18, 2013I've written a script to allow you to select an image to replace any number of selected files. Each file starts out as an embeded image with a .note to determine where the basis of alignment for the new file should be (i.e. "top," "bottom," "left," "right"). You'll find the code below:
#target illustrator
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var docRef=app.activeDocument;
var docSelection = docRef.selection;
// ** Get new file
[Code]...
For some reason, the ".note" added at the end of the script gets erased once the script is complete. I can even get it to confirm that it applied the note to the image, but once it's complete, it's gone.
Illustrator Scripting :: How To Read Real Number Data From Selected Columns In Excel Spreadsheet
Oct 27, 2013Problem:
How to read real number data from selected columns in an Excel spreadsheet into an illustrator javascript array variable, so that then I can use this information to construct an illustrator polygon.
Further information:
I am new to javascript (and not much of a programmer in the best case, but do have some basic knowledge using ancient languages like FORTRAN 88). I am sure I am just missing an important step here despite all morning browsing with Google for answers (something to do with variable definition I assume?). I have some survey data defining the outline of features in map view listed in a string of point (x,y) values in adjacent columns in excel (these x,y point values calculated from GPS data using a commercial program to converted 3D position to a 2D x,y by geoid projection, and then in excel to re-scale point locations to illustrator’s artboard). What I am trying to do is select columns of x,y value pairs in an excel spreadsheet, copy these values to the clipboard, and then develop an IA JavaScript to draw a polygon through the specified set of x,y points. It seems easy enough to script illustrator to draw the polygon once I get the values from the clipboard are in a javascript array (lots a good tips here [URL] ....), but pulling in the clipboard data seems to be beyond me. I have tried populating a defined array with various combinations of array declarations and app.paste(); or windows.clipboardData.getData('text/plain'); with no satisfaction. I then had the idea to try to pull in the clipboard to one long continuous string, place that in a text box (see see its structure), andthen read and split up the text in a loop to populate the JavaScript array…but that deposited a complex illustrator table object into my text box, and several attempts to force the clipboard to paste text did not work (again probably having problems understanding variable type declaration).
I would be happy to find any method of scripting the pull of the selected on an excel spreadsheet for use in an Illustrator script…so if I am making this all harder than it needs, be I would be grateful to know that also!
Illustrator Scripting :: How To Automate Importing Variable And Datasets Into Graphs Via Scripting
Dec 18, 2012I'm try to automate the importing of the Varaible and datasets into my graphs via Scripting, but the ImportVaraibles() function doesn't seem to work. Here is my Script, mostly copied from the example script provided with Illustrator (CS5). And, this works manually, using the file names in the script, via Load Variable Library
Set appRef = CreateObject(strIllistratorVersion)
'Open the file and import the datasets
Set docRef = appRef.Open(strTemplate & "200-500.ai")
'docRef.Datasets.RemoveAll
docRef.Variables("Yearbook").Delete
Here is the problem, after I delete the previous library, then this next line, right from the example, does nothing
The script then exits with 'No Datasets in this document'
docRef.ImportVariables (strXMLFolder & "Lumber_200-500.xml")
'appRef.DoJavaScript "alert('Template:" & strTemplate & strRange & ".ai | XML file:" & strXMLFolder & "" & objFile.Name & "^')"
If (appRef.Documents.Count > 0) Then
Set docRef = appRef.Documents(1)
[Code]....
If I remove that delete line, the script runs, but just uses whatever Variables I had last loaded, not the XML file.
It's simply not loading. What do I need to do to get it to load?

Dec 2, 2011I had this error show up two days ago. My machine maxes my memory out at 12gb when I try to open this file. I've tried to do a recovery, open the .bak and .sv$ files, and insert it into a new drawing but none of this worked. I was able to open it in True View and convert it to another DWG file. Doing this, I saved all my line work, but lost my models. I recreated my drawing from the line work and everything was fine up until now.
I am getting this error again but I can't recover it. I can't do the True View thing this time either. Everything on this project is gone now.
I don't know if AutoCAD Civil 3D just has serious issues, or if it is our network. C3D constantly processes and starts acting strange after an hour or so of working with it. Things like Duplicate sites, or not being able to move feature lines from one site to another.
Our network though is running out of space. We only have a 1Tb server, but in Windows Explorer, the bars are red with only 28.5gb free, and I'm sure it hasn't had any maitanance like defragmentation in a very long time.

Sep 15, 2011I was wondering if it was the COND statement that I would need to use to evaluate a block to confirm that two attribute tags existed and if so, if would process the block to perform an attribute extraction of both of those tags. It would ignore blocks that only had one or the other attribute tags - and only extract the attribute values if the block had BOTH of the tags present - It could be blank, but it had to exist.
For example, I want to find blocks that have the attribute tag "PART_A" and "ID" - and then create a CDF that has the value of "PART_A" in the first column and "ID" in the second column. Then it closes my CDF file.
Then, I want it to scan my drawing again for blocks that contain attribute tag "PART_B" and "ID" and then re-open that CDF file and append the values so that the values of teh attribute "PART_B" is in the first column and the values of the tag "ID" are in the second column.
I have been playing with the following code --- is there anyway to modify the code to get it to do what I need? I have already removed the part that writes the header-row....

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: How To Export JPG
Jan 15, 2014Quite new to Ai's scripting stuff.
I'm having a complicate time with Ai's save to jpg options vs artboard sizes and units conversions.
Say, i have a doc (from my client), which they inherited and enhanced for 10 years may be.
It's "supposed" to be in millimeters, but artboardRect gives me those values :
-0.27880000000005
436.191388980878
646.457
-0.20900000000074
which sound like weird points or pixels.
I need to export a jpg (or gif, or png), that will be X pixels wide. For the purpose of the test i set it at 1200.
var maxLargeurPx = 1200;
First thing, getting the artboard's width :
largeurArtboard = Math.abs(thisArtboardRect[2]-thisArtboardRect[0]);
// 646.7358
Then i try to have a multiply factor to use
coefExport = /*Math.round*/ (100 * maxLargeurPx / largeurArtboard);
// 185.54717397738
and then set my ExportFile jpg to this value (i can't give it a number)
// exportOptions.horizontalScale = coefExport
That's when it's getting fun : my images are 1204 px wide with or without clipping.
Of course, i "can't" resize the doc for each export, especially expecting to have dozens of those, with different values, dimensions, etc.

Illustrator :: Rotating 3D Extrusion Certain Number Of Degrees?
May 4, 2013how to rotate an extrusion a specific number of degrees. I can easily do it with Isometric views and the preprogrammed Off-Axis views. However, I just chose a random rotation.
In the example below, I made some stairs. Getting them to go in the opposite direction is easy - I just mirror the profile. However, I can't figure out how to properly rotate the stairs 90 degrees.
How to calculate these? I'm sure there's a way, but my brain can't get over it. I'm used to working in 3D modelling software where you can rotate based off a relative plane, not the fixed plane that Illustrator uses.
