Illustrator Scripting :: How To Extract Text In Order From Top Left To Bottom Right

Jan 25, 2012

I want to extract all the texts in a illustrator file to a txt file. which could be done like this:
 
var docObj=app.activeDocument;
var tfObj=docObj.textFrames;
var myTextFrames = [];
for(var m=0; m < tfObj.length; m++){
myTextFrames.push(tfObj[m].contents);
}
  
But since the text frames were extracted by create order, not by layout, I want to ajust the oder from top left to bottom right first, then export.
 
I thought it could be done by selecting all the text frames first, then sorting the selection orders by loop. But I don't know how to select all the text frames, and not sure whether this is the right way...

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Return Array Of Paths In The Order They Were Selected

Feb 1, 2013

Is there a method to return an array of paths in the order they were selected, instead of their descending z-index (default behaviour)?
 
I'm writing a script that "connects" the centers of currently selected objects through a stroked path, and I want it to follow the order in which I select the objects, regardless of the stacking order.

Illustrator Scripting :: Sorting The Order Of Points In PathPoints Array

May 1, 2013

I've got areaText rectangles that were created by various means, and the 0 index is sometimes the top left, other times the bottom right. I need to do a lot of resizing/aligning/spacing/sizing. To script the movement of the top left point of each (or any point for that matter), I'm trying to clean up the sequence of points in each objects array of pathPoints so I can move pathPoint[0].anchor for each rectangle and be sure that the top left is moving, not some other random corner.
 
So, testing in script alone, and I came up with the following (don't laugh at how I called out the array), which works great in extendScript:
 
var testArray = new Array;
testArray.push({xVal: 5, yVal:0});
testArray.push({xVal: 0, yVal:-2});
testArray.push({xVal: 5, yVal:-2});
testArray.push({xVal: 0, yVal:0});

[code]....
 
Which throws an error "objPoints.sort is not a function"Unlike the JS only version, my AI script is trying to sort all of the points of all of of the textAreas, which I'll fix shortly so it sorts the 4 points of each object. The problem is that the script isn't sorting the points, but providing a useful error message instead.

AutoCad 2D :: Ctrl+V Origin Not At Bottom Left Corner

Dec 17, 2013

Normally, when you select an object or a group of objects and you go to copy it/them with Ctrl+V (NOT Ctrl+Shift+V), AutoCAN'T will use the bottom left extents of the object(s) as the base point for what you are pasting. For whatever reason, when I select+copy+paste an object, the base point/origin/whatever you want to call it, is way off and not even near any of the objects.

How can I reset this?

Photoshop :: Little Grey Icon On Top Of Presets To Bottom Left Corner?

Jun 13, 2012

Yesterday, I went into my presets folder because I was searching for a particular brush, and I noticed a little grey overlay icon with a white line in a 45 degree angle. The little icons sit on top of the presets icons, and they are located to the bottom left hand corner. I tried to search what that means, with no luck. Just in case, I even checked everything with my antivirus, but it doesn't seem to be a virus. What is that? (I'm running Adobe CS6, in a Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit pc)

Photoshop :: Change Default New Layer Order / Top To Bottom

Jun 28, 2013

By default Adobe Photoshop creates new layers on top of the current layer. In the Western languages we read from top to bottom and left to right. So when I start creating a web site in Photoshop I start from top to bottom as well. However Photoshop creates the new layer above the current, which is the opposite of what I would like to do. I need Photoshop to create new layers below the current layer. I know by holding CTRL/COMMAND and clicking the NEW LAYER icon, will do what I need. However if I do CTRL+J to jump/duplicate the current layer, or select a layer and ALT+DRAG again to duplicate it, again it puts the new layers in top. Is there a way to reverse the default order Photoshop places layers? If not, I suggest that to Adobe implement an option in the general settings for Photoshop. Flash for example had similar option to read/place layers from top to bottom or bottom to top.

Illustrator :: Curve Bottom Line Of Text Not Top Or Sides

Jun 18, 2013

Using illustrator CC, I want to curve the bottom line of my text upwards, but not have the top or sides move at all.  Imagine of the text was something squishy, and I pushed it down onto the top of an arc. I've only been working with Adobe CC for about a week now.  I've seen lots of examples of having the text follow a curved path, but they all curve the entire thing, whereas I only want the bottom of the text to curve.

Illustrator :: Unlock Text Box In Order To Change Its Size?

I am working in Illustrator CS4 and I am currently having a problem resizing text boxes to either enlarge them to add more type or reduce them to eliminate unused space within the active box. When I place the cursor on the corner of an active box, I get a square symbol instead of an arrow which would indicate that I can change size. All I can do with the cursor now is move the position of an active box.

but how do I add some text to the beginning of that text? lets say that this is my textFrame[0] = "this is a simple test string".what is the proper way to add text like the number one and a period to the beginning?
