View 5 RepliesCurrently i'm doing automations for Adobe Illustrator CS4. I have created some actions due to the limitations of scripting in Illustrator. I need to call this actions through javascript.But in applescript i can able to call the actions by using the do script method.
View 5 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;

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a VB.Net routine which will run the REVCLOUD command. In my application I prompt the user to select a single polyline using:
EntRslt = acDoc.Editor.GetEntity(EntOpts)
Then later I run the REVCLOUD command using:
acDoc.SendStringToExecute("_revcloud Object Poly No ", False, False, True)
Where Poly is the polyline I selected earlier. Of course, the line above doesn't work since "Poly" is interpreted as a string. But I would like to figure out how to pass my VB.Net selected Polyline into the REVCLOUD command.
How I might do this? The REVCLOUD command will not accept the "Previous" selection set so setting the Implied Selectoin does not work. If my Polyline was the Last object in the database I could use the "Last" option, but it isn't.
My command prompt window position moved to top left corner. Want to move back to bottom left corner.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've noticed this annoying trait in AutoCAD 2012 when drawing a polar array that I hadn't noticed in previous versions. I used to get stuck in a loop having to repeatedly enter the number of items in the array trying to get it to move on to the next command prompt of what angle of fill I required.
Example
CMD = Enter number of items or [Angle between/expression] <4>:
<Type in 20 and hit Return key>
CMD = Enter number of items or [Angle between/expression] <4>:
<Type in 20 and hit Return key>
CMD = Enter number of items or [Angle between/expression] <4>:
<Type in 20 and hit Return key>
Ad infinitum...
I then discovered that this only seems to happen when the cursor is left over the centre of the array you clicked on. But if it's moved to one side the correct command prompt follows the Return key. This isn't intuitive as you have to leave go of the mouse to input the required number at the keyboard, so it tends to be wherever you just clicked, and you end up in the pointless loop.
I have a project related to connect autocad and visual studio(VB.Net). Example: I open my file autocad and then use command type call run visual studio.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe (the entire office) haven't had this issue in 2012, but in all of our 2013 installations, this is occurring.
In 2012, several rows are displayed in the command prompt, say for example you do a distance command, there are two rows of text showing the information the user might want to see. It displays the first row of, distance, the angle in XY plane and the angle from XY plane. The second row displays the delta X, delta Y and delta Z.
In 2013, it only displays delta X, delta Y and delta Z. The user have to hit "F2" to invoke the "AutoCAD Text Window" to view the first line of text.
I hope there is a variable setting for this, and not an oversight by Autodesk.
I am getting this error message many times in my command promt.
** Glyph not defined at: U+0050.
Where I can download the font for this error? I searched in google, but I dont find it.
I have my own Palette Set.
On this Palette Set I have a palette withe a tree.
On the right click of the node, I call a command (it's one of our own ObjectARX commands, but the problem is the same with a build in command).
The command wants the user to select a point, with a few options. If I first select a point (left click) and then click right, everything works fine.
But If I click with the right button, before I select anything, the menu is not shown.
The code for calling the command is really easy:
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute("_ARC
",true,false,false);
As said before... I don't call the _ARC command... but for the arc Command the right click menu is not shown also...What can I do, to get the normal behavior of the right click?
I am able in lisp to create a command prompt selection menu, easy (see code below).However what I want is for the lisp to be ready to undertake an action UNLESS I select an option.
An example is the offset command wich has a function ready to roll (namely the specify offset distance) "OR" I can interrupt the "specify offset distance" and enter one of the sub options (in the case of offset Through/ Erase/Layer).
My code attempts to offset also, UNLESS the user wishes to specify a distance.
(DEFUN C:loadoffset ();CREATING MENU FOR SUB COMMANDS [GETIT] [GOTIT]...(setq choose (getstring "
Select an option... [1=GET DIST] [2=GOTDIST]: "))(if (or (equal choose "1"))(GETIT))(if (or (equal choose "2"))(GOTIT));TERMINATING SELECTION MENU...)(defun getit ( gotit )(setq MYDIST (getdist "
SELECT A DISTANCE: "))(gotit))(defun gotit ()(command "_offset" MYDIST pause pause"exit"))
When you use shell command and type cmd, command prompt appears and the default location is My Documents. How can i change it to another directory by using only lisp?

I'm trying to set the stroke style for a path item I've drawn through JavaScript, however I can't find a way to set the stroke alignment for my path item.
I've checked the Illustrator JavaScript reference but I can't seem to find that option in there.I would expect something like:
pathItem.strokeAlignment = StrokeAlignment.OUTSIDE; // This doesn't work, what is the correct way to set the stroke alignment from JavaScript?
If I change the option in the Actions Panel it comes up as 'Set Stroke/Alignment: Outside', so there must be an equivalent way of setting it from JavaScript. Is there a way of converting Actions to JavaScript so you can see which properties and attributes are being set on the object? What is the correct way to set the strok alignment from JavaScript?
