Illustrator Scripting :: Import PSD To AI Layer
Sep 8, 2012I am new to scripting in Illustrator.I am trying to import PSD files into an AI layer.So far this is my solution.
var TRGdoc = app.documents.add(DocumentColorSpace.RGB, "1920", "1080");
var onFile = File( '~/Desktop/jpeger/illDanceREFon_00642.psd' );
var REFon = app.open(onFile);
var LAYon = REFon.layers[0];
var LAYstuffon = LAYon.pageItems[0];
LAYstuffon.selected = true;
app.copy();
TRGdoc.activate();
var TRGlayer = TRGdoc.layers[0];
TRGlayer.selected = true;
app.paste();
It works most of the time but sometimes it hangs up on the paste.
Illustrator Scripting :: Place / Import File To Visible Layer?
Jul 26, 2013I have been working on a script to place a psd file onto only one visible layer (document has multiple hidden layers). This java code has worked so far:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var onFile = File("C:/Users/Desktop/Desktop/ExportedArtboard-01.psd");
var mydoc = doc.placedItems.add();
mydoc.file = onFile;
mydoc.embed();
however this works with only the top layer visible (eye turned on in Ai). if top most layer isn't visible i get "target layer cannot be modified" error.
For instance say i have 1,2,3 layers. layer 1 (top most) and 3 (bottom most) would be hidden, layer 2 (middle layer) would be visible and then running the script would place the psd file on to layer 2.
Illustrator Scripting :: Write A Script That Renames A Layer And Group Within The Layer?
Jul 25, 2013I'm trying to write a script that renames a layer, and group within the layer, then an object within the layer (but not a part of the group) and have it run in a loop.
Here's what I've got so far, the group rename doesn't work.
#target Illustrator
var doc = app.activeDocument;
idLayers(doc)//IRename layers
idGroups(doc)//Rename groups
function idLayers(doc){
[code]....
I haven't put in anthing to rename the single object yet since I cant even get the group rename to work. I suspect that the group re-name section isn't working because I'm either using bad syntax or an invalid command.

Apr 25, 2009Every time that I open a file, almost all the layers in the first level appears expanded, even when the file was saved with these layers colapsed.
So, as I have a lot of layers and sublayers/groups, it is difficult to navigate to a specific location and I need to collapse layer by layer.
Are there some trick to force Illustrator to remember the layer status?
Illustrator :: When Reduce Opacity Of Top Layer How To Keep Bottom Layer From Shining Through

I want the bottom layer to remain hidden beneath the top layer despite the lowered opacity. How would I accompish this simply? I have CS2.

Sep 17, 2013I'm on a Win 7 machine using Illustrator CC, using a mouse with the pen tool.
I created some shapes on one layer, and now want totrace just the outside of those shapes on a different layer. It worked well enough on the first two shapes I did this with (both comprised of ellipses layered to create a particular shape) but on this third one, it keeps bouncing me back to the original layer. This is the only shape that includes straight lines but I can't think of a reason that would keep me from being able to trace the outline of shapes on a different layer.

May 1, 2009I want to make a simple animation from 3 pictures (gifs saved on my computer). I understand that I have to get these 3 pictures to be layers but I can't work out how to do that. One tutorial referred to Image>convert to editable layer but I don't see this option on my menu (using CS2). I have to admit to not having mastered layers properly yet.
I would be so grateful if someone could give a step by step description of how to import 3 different pictures and somehow get them into one animation. The ability to make simple animations would make an enormous difference to the project I am working on.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Styles Corrupt Layer?
Mar 7, 2013who has a specific layer assigned for the water drop routine verify if you get the same results.
If I take a file that has the layer assigned (C-TINN-WSHD) and import my template using the "Manage-Import styles" it corrupts the layer to (AcDbObjectId::kNull), then when I save the drawing and reopen it's reset to layer (0).
Pretty obvious but this only happens when "Import Settings" is toggled on, but it shouldn't be corrupting the layer if on.
Both files have the same settings and layers in each, so it's not looking for something that isn't there.
See Image.
I was able re-create this with “_AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS.dwt”

View 6 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop Elements :: PDFs Checkered On Import - Seen As Layer
Feb 18, 2014having only used Photoshop elements for about 6 months. I have frequently imported PDFs into Elements, where they always showed up as the background. I could see the information clearly, draw on the PDF, and then save it as a jpeg with the modifications that I made (work project).
However, today the PDFs are showing up checkered (which I read has something to do with transparency). It also is imported with the title "Layer 1" not a background layer, like before.
I edited the transparency preferences to reduce the grid size to "none", but that only created a white block where the PDF should be--the information that was in the PDF didn't show up. It's like the PDFs are not showing up at all when I import them.
AutoCAD Map 3D :: Shapefiles And ESRI Layer Color - Can It Be Remembered Upon Import?
Apr 26, 2006I am not an ESRI user... strictly in the Map World, so I dont know..
Do ESRI shapefiles store layer color? If yes, can this be harnessed and remembered upon Map Import?
I have always just changed the ACAD layers upon import, but I have a client who is trying to import hundreds of layers and says that changing their colors would be incredibly time consuming, yet if he imports these files into ESRI, they remember what color their layer is supposed to be.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Import / Export Layer Property Custom Filters
Nov 14, 2012I need importing and exporting custom layer property filters. Long story short, we XREF a lot of mechanical equipment in our models and when we create a structural drawing make all of the mechanical item print in a light ghosted color. I created a layer property filter with a huge list of all the possible equipment prefix's like *cl-* *tk-* *rv-* and so on to filter out all the equipment layers. It took a long time to create, so I want to export it and import it into future drawing.

Jun 18, 2013If I drag an effect from the target circle of one object to anther in the layer's panel it replaces the effect along with all appearance. But I want just to add the effect. For example, a layer has a drop shadow and a path, round corners. I want to move the drop shadow from the layer to the path so that the path now has the round corners and the drop shadow. To do this I have to open the shadow effect of the layer wright down its parameters, then create a shadow effect for the path with the same parameters which is a lot of work.
