Aome type of vector library plugin for Illustrator CS6. I need somewhere I can drag commonly used vector elements in illustrator (similar to that of the library in indesign), in the past I used dbpalette from Baby-Universe but they have no idea when its going to be updated, so I'm on the search for a replacement. I tried the symbol library but never had much luck with it. I'm on a MacPro running 10.8.3.
View 7 RepliesI'll omit the long background --- suffice it to say I did this once and need to do it again, but can't recall the toolchain / workflow I used.
I _think_ it was Macromedia FreeHand 8, and that I used a plug-in w/in that program, but I can't recall. Any way other than rendering the drawing as a half-toned bitmap and then tracing it? Or re-drawing the image on top of such a bitmap?
I've been using Illustrator since the late 80's but this request just now came up for the first time, twice in one day: the clients each want me to send them layered files (OK-no problem) wherein all the layers, even the raster layers, register as vector layers. Or at least all the layers, regardless of file-type (vector or raster) are contained within an unflattened Illustrator file. One of the clients specifically asked that the Type layer (No problem-all the type is on one layer) be "vector mapped", whatever that means, while all the other layers can be Photoshop layers, if necessary. So how do I hand them an open, unflattened Illustrator file containing both vector art and raster art? Can it be done in Acrobat, as a PDF? I'm working in AI and PS CS5, but I can and will upgrade if I have to.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen working with multiple documents, and I switch from the "current" document to another, is there some way I have to notify my plugin that I have a different document, or does my plugin always ASSUME it is working on the "current" document. I ask this in conjunction with Dictionarys, as when I switch documents, I cannot access what I think is the dictionary for the current document. Is there some type of document-dictionary relationship I am missing ?

i have added a button in file menu by using AI SDK , now i want to convert an AI image into a JPEG format.

I want to open a ".AI" image and need to convert it into ".JPEG" format by using custom menu item in file menu.

I don’t know how to load an image into SDK ArtHandler and save as it with a new formate.
I've recently subscribed to Creative Cloud, and downloaded some of the new Creatie Programs, as Photoshop, Muse ands Illustrator.
I understand that Illustrator CC isn't compatible with some of my older plugins, but i don't understand that instead of simply avoid loading them, it CRASHES too! That issue forces me to find the plugin that was guilty of the crash, remove it from the plugins folder, and then start again.
This has happened me twice: with the font agent pro autoactivation filter, and with the inkling sketch manager of wacom
I must insist: what really annoyes me is the fact that the program crashes instead avoiding the loading of the outdated plugin.
Will this have a patcj in future versiones,?
Any new plugin for illustrator that will password protect a layer. The plugin Master Lock only works in Illustrator version 8 and 9.
Is there a newer version that works with CS5 ?
After reinstalling multiple times, uninstalling Wacom drivers, etc. -- tracked it down to a plugin.The newest update for AI CC is not compatible with the Silhouette Studio plugin.
Not a happy camper over lost time and productivity, but fortunately I had my CS5 disks.
I'm completed my plugin and want to make release packget.My plugin have two parts:
1. UI write FlashUI abcUI.zxp
2. Control write by Illustrator plugin abc.aip
The same StrokeFilter and StrokeFilterUI project.Now I want to combine they. And make setup program to release (no need to use Adobe extension and add plugin in Illustrator manual)
I perform certain actions within its handler menu goМenuItem - delete some objects; do other invisible; run through certain actions by PlayActionEvent(), e.t.c. then export the file again through PlayActionEvent("adobe_exportDocument" ...) and see that after all my activities were canceled - a document recovered to the initial state, and after each export and save the need to repeat the entire sequence again. Moreover, on some computers to export certain actions randomly do not work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an Illustrator plugin which installs several tools. I want to have a panel pop up for each tool when the user selects a tool.
All the SDK examples I have seen create a main flex panel when the extension loads up. I do not want to any panel to appear when the extension is loaded. I want to load the extension and then popup panels only when a tool is selected.
Is it possible to call an action made by a user, if yes how I can retrieve it (by its name ?) and is it possible to set some arguments of the action ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm just starting out trying to make a plugin for Illustrator CC and have been a bit stuck the past few days, so I have a few questions. The plugin I'm trying to make would have it where when you mouse over a path, an annotation pops up to display the length of the path, reguardless of what tool you have selected.
The major question I have is if it is possible to make a plugin that runs in the background without having to select it as a tool?
I've been going over the SDK and guides and have tried altering the annotator sample project along with trying to make it from scratch, but I haven't gotten the results I want. I got Annotator to display the length of paths, but I can't remove it's tool properties or make it run like it's always selected. When I've been tryng to build from scratch, I don't see how to track the cursor since it seems to need the AIToolSuite. I've also tried to use AINotifierSuite with kAIArtSelectionChangedNotifier, but haven't gotten it to work correctly and it wouldn't work just by mousing over paths if I had.
Details:
OSX 10.9.1
XCode 5.0.2
Illustrator CC 17.0.0
I have a requirement to export each artboard into jpeg programmatic within plugin.

I don't know what a cut vector pdf is and I am very new to using illustrator. I just started using it two days ago for this specific project. I found the save to pdf option but I don't know what cut vector is, do I need to do something to cut it up or something?
I have creative cloud cs6 and am using illustrator cs6 for this project. I got no clue here what they are looking for. I can save it out to pdf is that what they mean? This is for an actual profesional printer they will be taking this to and they will make the sign from the file I give them.I have no idea about the file format for printing... I mostly do projects for the web and don't come across print print projects much.
I was wondering if there is a completions package with AI scripting properties for text editors like sublime text or textedit. I'm assuming no as I found nothing and I don't understand how to make one myself.
the extendscript toolkit is very slow for me. the data browser specially is very cumbersome to look through and referencing the pdf is no fun neither.
I've been saving down cad files and opening in AI for about 6 months now with no problems. Now it won't recognize any CAD files, no matter how I save it down, I 've tried 2010 and 2004.
