I've had to rescale some artwork, but now I'm left with type sizes that are 71.68px tall, 34.51px tall, etc.
Is there a script that'll snap all the text in a document to it's nearest whole number or 0.1 decimal?
One of the users on mCADForums discovered this bug.
"I have a value of 3516.41mm and I want to round it to the nearest whole number.
I have tried to use the round command and it seems to round up to the nearest 10 so 3516.41mm would round up to 3520mm. So how do I get would I go about rounding to the nearest whole number?"
I suspect this is due to Inventor's internal units being cm. However as we specific "a" to be in mm and "b" to be in mm this should not be happening.
Is it possible to use an imported text as a number? I would like to import a .txt tab formatted file containing some values (ex: 22.5; 50.00; 150.00, etc.), and I want to treat those values as numbers in my script. Is this possible?

The overall size of a textFrame is possible to find (not sure about position), but when you've got just a few characters selected I don't see any way to get the size or position.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the variables panel in Illustrator to pull a data set I've got.
For example there's 2 text variables and 1 number going from 0-359. I'm looking for a script which looks at the variable name and pulls the number, then uses that number to rotate a shape by that many degrees.
I 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

Desired is

I'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.
I have two user parameters saved in a part template that are tied to the part volume and an overall estimated part weight. The user parameter Pc_Volume is the volume in cubic feet and calculated by pulling the part mass (in cubic inches) and converting to cubic feet via ilogic rule. This is then automatically run via event triggers before a file is saved and if the part geometry has changed to keep the volume up to date. These are exported because they get pulled into iproperties of our drawing files as well as used to create a parts lists showing the volumes and weights.
I have the property formats of the user parameters set to Number and to unitless and the unit display turned off so it does not show on the parts list, with a precision of 0.000 for Pc_Volume. The Pc_Weight is set the same way however with a precision rounded to the nearest whole number.
These are created this way so when we use the part file as the template when we select "Make Components" to separate our parts and tie them to an assembly all the files are then updated and the information saved for exporting.
The problem is, the Pc_Volume always comes in rounded to a whole number. The Pc_Weight Does as well, but that doesn't bother me since we want it to do that anyway. If I would go into the part file after it's created, double check the precision and then re-run the rule the volume will show up with the correct precision in the exported parameters. I don't want to have to open each partfile however to get this to update.
Attached are images of the parameters, ilogic rule, and exported results.
Problem:
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!
how to auto fit overset text in a fixed text frame?
I import many languages into fixed text frames and it is a pain to keep resizing or scaling manually.
As of yet I've been unable to source any javascript or applescript that can do it. The closest has been "JET_AutoFitVertical.jsx" but this resizes the text frames.
trying to make an object the exact size of the artboard. This is something I do on a daily basis for several different reasons and it would be very useful if this can happen automatically for whatever size the artboard may be. As I understand it the only way is with a script but I have no experience with making illustrator scripts, im definately no programmer. I have set up quickkeys in the past to copy from the artboard inputs when you are on the artboard tool but these round to the nearest .01 and this is not accurate enough for what I am working with. Also if I do this with multiple pages open illustrator is very slow to respond to the artboard tool.
Below is a script that I saw on here that I believe may contain what I need but now knowing programming. Where to start on editing. All I need is the part where an object is placed on the artboard that is the exact same size as the artboard.
#target illustrator function main() { if (app.documents.length == 0) { alert('Open a document before running this script'); return; // Stop script here no doc open… } else { var docRef = app.activeDocument; with (docRef) { if (selection.length == 0)

how can I copy and paste position and size of two objects?
Let's say I have a circle 2 x 2 cm and it's position is y 5cm x 5cm, I have a square of size 3 x 7 cm and it's position is y 0cm x 0cm.
How do I copy and paste in a single command/step the circles position and size to square, so I can get square of 2 x 2 cm and it's position 5cm x 5cm?

Is it possible to automate the rounding of font sizes if they are in decimal form? I have a few thousand files I have to prepare for upload and they can't have font sizes such as 8.214 which several do. With AppleScript would it be possible to identify and then round up or down such font sizes?

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.
How i can align vertical center and horizontal center a single line text to a shape (in vbs) ?
