Trying to execute a script with the #include command.
It works great when the path does not conatin any spaces but else it fails and say that it cant find the file. Even networkshares work without spaces.
You may think that i have not tried to enclose it in " " signs but i actually have tried that with no success

I need to do a form of automation, but wanting to execute this from another process (self-made application). Adobe Photoshop has this mechanism called "Droplets" that are executable based upon Actions defined in Photoshop (as far as I can understand). Is it possible to let AI do some work for you from an external application as with Photoshop (assuming you are able to execute the executable once it has been created)?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI managed to write this javascript. It automatically changes the colors from one swatch (byName) to another (byName) in my opened illustrator file. But if this one color doesn't exist as a fill or outline color in a file, I get an error message, because the script can not detect the color. The script stops. I am working on a batch of Illustrator files with 3 colors to change, but some files contain just 1 or 2 of the colors.Is there a command for javascript which says: "Only change the color, if the color appears"?
Here is the script:
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
var findColor = swatches.getByName('TSB Dark Blue').color;
var replaceColor = swatches.getByName('TSBDB').color;

I am running Inventor 2012 sp2.
Even with a simple IPT that only has a handfull of features, at times it takes a long time (3-5 minutes, sometimes longer) for Inventor to execute a undo or redo command.

can you confirm if the CS4 version of illustrator will work on a 64bit version of Windows 2012 TS?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm new to scripting What I want to do and don't know how to go about it is to run a script that collects the saved file name and the full path where the file is saved on the network and displays it on my document.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a user in my group that is hesitant to upgrade to 2012 because , he has many lisp routines that are associated with the PREVIOUS selection feature. This selection is very useful in that when you are moving or selecting many objects you can enter P for previous and the object will be selected.
In 2009, when you select objects then hit escape, then try to execute a command requesting to use the Previous, AutoCAD will remember the last selected object and then highlight it.
In 2012, when you select objects then hit escape, then try to execute a command using P for previous, it will not highlight the previous object selected but will highlight the previous object where a command was executed on.
Hope I haven't lost you. It seems there should be a setting under SELECTION of how to manipulate the Previous selection feature.
I added CS6 COM reference in my VB.NET application and after that I have the following basic object creation in order to convert a eps file to svg.

I have a scriptUI generated palette which contains 26 icons linked to their respective scripts. When an icon is pressed, it invokes the required script via this:
searchPanel.children[0].onClick = function(){
searchOne.open("r");
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
[Code].....
My other scripts have "normal" functions that don't cause any problems, so I'm assuming it has something with BridgeTalk being loaded inside the palette function (since the code that's read in from the file is inserted at the location from where it's called).
how to place an image into illustrator via scripting with javascript, however I am having difficulties with text files. My code is:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Layer1 = myDoc.layers[0];
function getTextFile() {
return File.openDialog('Please select the text file to be imported:', undefined, undefined);
}
var myTextfile = getTextFile();
var myPlacedFile = Layer1.placedItems.add();
myPlacedFile.file = myTextfile;
But when I select a text file, it says it is an unsupported format. I'm assuming it has something to do with the extra options that come with importing a text document, specific for .txt and .doc for example.
For what it's worth I was working on an alternate method by read() ing in the contents of the .txt file and setting them equal to the contents of a textFrame, however it imported the text without carriage returns/newlines and I haven't been able to result that issue.
