Illustrator Scripting :: Simple Dialog - Panel And Checkboxes
Dec 23, 2013
I have very simple dialog - just one panel and few checkboxes. When I set panel as "undefined" everything works right, but when i set a size of the panel checkboxes disappear.
Works
var win = new Window ("dialog", "test");
var panelOpcje = win.add("panel", undefined, "Options");
var check1 = panelOpcje.add("checkbox", undefined, "check1");
var check2 = panelOpcje.add("checkbox", undefined, "check1");
win.show();
This doesn't work
var win = new Window ("dialog", "test");
var panelOpcje = win.add("panel", [0,0,400,300], "Options");
var check1 = panelOpcje.add("checkbox", undefined, "check1");
var check2 = panelOpcje.add("checkbox", undefined, "check1");
win.show()

As I´m studying JavaScript and the user interface creation...would like to ask (more for curiosity):
Is it possible to create a new panel for Illustrator using JavaScript? Or this is only possible using C++?
(in the Window Class UI we have the "palette" creation method..so wondering the result of it too)

I can't seem to figure out a simple/direct method to identify the index of the selected item in a list box.
I feel like I'm missing something, but I can't seem to figure which (if any) property returns an index number if you use it with the .onChange callback for a ListBox.
The following code accomplishes what I need but isn't particularly efficient or elegant and can get muddled if you introduce multiple lists to check.
Any way to duplicate this same behavior with better code
var res = "palette {text: 'Example List', properties:{resizeable:true}
pnl: Panel{orientation: 'row',preferredSize: [400,600],
list1: ListBox{preferredSize: [400,550], properties:{multiselect:true,numberOfColumns:2, showHeaders:true,columnTitles: ['List 1', 'Subitem 0']}},
}}"
[Code]...

I need to initiate print dialog. Action must be completely the same like pressing Cntr+P on keyboard.
When I use this code:
var colorOptions = new PrintColorManagementOptions();
colorOptions.name = "ColorMatch RGB";
colorOptions.intent = PrintColorIntent.ABSOLUTECOLORIMETRIC;
colorOptions.colorProfileMode = PrintColorProfile.SOURCEPROFILE;
[Code]...
I get error message: "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management setting are inconsistent."

I'm creating a dialog window for an Illustrator script, and would like to include a logo image.
The image file is 'mm_logo.png', and it lies in the same directory as the script itself. Here's the relevant fragment:
var dlg = new Window('dialog', '',[200,200,600,400]);// logodlg.logo = dlg.add("image", {x:25,y:0,width:139,height:67},undefined,'mm_logo.png');
Sadly the image fails to appear when I run the script (although the dialog itself and items such as panel lines and buttons do appear).
The documentation suggests I may need to supply the 'current' property of the 'Folder' class.

how to show the color picker dialog in Illustrator programmatically?
In photoshop that's really easy, just:
app.showColorPicker(true);
In Illustrator I couldn't find any reference to such a method or other possibility to show the dialog programmatically, that you would normally get when double clicking on the fill color square within Illustrator.
Is that possible by using app.executeMenuCommand or some other method?
I am writing a script that opens the color picker dialog in reaction to a click on a button. I want to be able to get the chosen color and use it within the script.

I'm batch exporting JPGs of AI files in CS5, but many of the files are as old as AI10, so I'm getting the "Convert to Artboard" dialog box. I've set open options (below), but they seem to just pre-populate the checkboxes in the dialog. Any way to do this without user interaction? userInteractionLevel doesn't seem to apply here)
var optRef = new OpenOptions();
optRef.updateLegacyText = true;
optRef.convertCropAreaToArboard = false;
optRef.preserveLegacyArtboard = true;
optRef.createArtboardWithArtworkBoundingBox = false;

Is it possible to trigger actions from the actions panel using javascript? I see that you can do this with AppleScript but I've written everyting so far in javascript and don't know AppleScript, though could learn it if I need to.
I'm writing a script that creates a lot of complex graphic files and have all the prototypes done except for wanting to change the color of a few of the points in a mesh object. Apparently this can't be done in javascript, so I was hoping to mid point in the script, trigger an action from the panel to edit the mesh, then let the script carry on its way.
Is this possible?

I want to create a dialog consisting of multiple buttons. As a result I want value which button was pressed by user.
The script (shortened to problematic part):
// I'm looping through elements on layer 'warstwa' from kolorStart to kolorStop, 'k' is used for number buttons
for (i = kolorStart, k = 0; i <= kolorStop; k++, i++) {
myButton[k] = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, warstwa.pageItems[i].contents);
myButton[k].label = warstwa.pageItems[i].contents;
myButton[k].onClick = function () { wybranyKolor = myButton[k].label; myWindow.close(); }
}
The result:
But buttons don't work, wybranyKolor returning 'undefined'. If I change "wybranyKolor = myButton[k].label" to "wybranyKolor = myButton[k-1].label" I get proper answer but it is the same for all buttons so it looks that all buttons have the same action assigned. How to get each button to has unique name which can be passed to variable?
Probably I can achieve the same with radio buttons' list but with buttons it is one click less for the user.

Illustrator keeps freezing when applying an effect such as texture-grain to a simple gradient, or even rasterizing a simple black circle. My system is about a 6month old macbook pro with 16gb ram, i7 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB. What could be causing this? It wasn't like this when i first started using the laptop but has started to do it everytime i try and do any of those simple tasks recently.

I'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?

Windows XP 32bit, English.
This does not occur when aligning objects, nor text with an object.This only occurs (as far as I can tell) when aligning two or more sets of text alone.
When I enter the align and distribute window the vertical align checkboxes are greyed out with "Top" selected.
It is not possible to uncheck or select any other vertical align option. It is possible to "force" the window to deselect it by selecting "top" in the distribute tab, but this does not make the align options selectable again.
You can workaround this by creating a temporary object to align with your text.

I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.

I am relatively new to Illustrator.
I am trying to create a simple 3D map, but not with the default iso settings. It's actually a remake of a map made many years ago on a squar grid using a rise of 1 and a run of 2 (all done by hand on graph paper). This creates an angle that is 26.5651°.
For iso, [scale: H=100%, V=86.602%] [shear: hoizontal axis -30°] [rotate: -30°] and so on, varying for the left, right and top. I have this working fine for iso.
My problem arose when I went to the 26.5651 angle. What settings should I use for the three sides (left, right, top)?
Is there any way to get the extrude and bevel tool to do work with my settings?

This might sound a bit odd, but the "Simple Trace" settings in CS5 were perfect for tracing my artwork for a graphic novel I'm working on. I upgraded to CS6 earlier this year but due to other issues had to take a break working on the graphic novel.
I came back today and drew the source images as I had before (in Paint Tool SAI using only black pen brush for a clean line) and then exported this to a PNG file which I then imported into Illustrator. I assumed that Default in CS6 was the same as Simple Trace in CS5, but it gives far fewer details than Simple Trace does! Is there anyway I get get the Simple Trace settings back?

Example simple dotted pattern. Is it possible to create swatch so that color can be easily changed afterwards.
Like I can create pattern brush, so that colour is changeable with any colour in my palette.

Say I paste a raster image into illustrator. It's a square (or a rectangle).
Is there an easy way to turn this image into a shape object so I can apply effects like rounded corner to it?
I'm not really looking to trace the image, just turn it into a square shape.
