[CS4] AIPathSuite::SetPathSegments() selects all points

Hello

I am desparetly trying to adapt my plugin for AI CS4. It works fine under CS3 & older. But the same code recompiled under CS4 SDK, don't nastly changes in the selection of points in the path. Indeed, the call AIPathSuite::SetPathSegments() does NOT maintain the existing selection state as he did in CS3 and higher, but still select all THE points on a path partially selected. It is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY for my plug-in to maintain the existing State of selection for partially selected paths. I tried unsuccessfully to means that I could imagine to turn around this bug, including the record of the selection state before changing the coordinates of the points and after restore. Similarly for the path art attr... Apparently, this is beyond the control of the plus-po HAVE seems to change the selection after my trips plus-dans routines.

FWIW, my plugin does not use LiveEffet because it makes no sense for the plug-in. I develop on Mac OS X, but I guess that it would give the same results under Windows.

Need help please, I am deperate.

Too many customers are angry because I can't provide an update for CS4

TIA

I guess that's a filter? In my view, selects automatically that nothing touched when a filter is running. I thought he did always frankly.

If you need to maintain the selection, I would try to add a step to your strategy of 'save & restore '. Illustrator will beat you selection, you can't win this fight. So just let it go and THEN restore your previous selection. I believe you can get that the use of a timer. Create a timer with a length of zero and I think it fires after that Illustrator is over. You can create and market when you have finished your filter, then turn it off as soon as you catch it, actually making it a one-shot timer. When you catch the timer, you restore you selection at this time here and I hope that you have bypassed the Illustrator trying to 'help' you. Why this is not an option on the filter that I'll never know.

I used this technique before to solve simillar problems, so I think it will help here. In any case, good luck

  • How, in Illustrator CS5, select all objects with the three points (or nodes)?

    I'm fairly new to Illustrator, but it seems like it should be simple.  (It's trivial in CorelDraw X 4: after selecting an object with three knots, I go to Edition > search and replace > find objects > find objects that correspond to the currently selected object and navigate the menus left.)

    In Illustrator CS5, select options > identical do not seem to include the selection of all objects with the same number of nodes under the currently selected object.

    A double click on the magic wand tool also does not provide such an option.

    Thanks for any help.

    PS also useful would be knowing how to add other criteria to this search, for example, how to select all objects with three points * and * the current fill color.

    advictoriam,

    I'm afraid that you have better luck with the number of anchor Point.

  • In a gradient mesh, I can't tell Illustrator to select all the points that are the same color?

    All I can find online is to highlight on an area to select several points of mesh. It will not work in my case. I can't tell illustrator to select the color, the way it does with fills and strokes? I want to change the color and I have to click on all the points again? Ridiculous.

    Select a point with the arrow tool dig (direct selection)

    Select > same > fill color

    I also recommend the creation of color charts and overall color checker.

    My Inbox needs serious editing. A lot of unwanted emails. I would like to delete e-mails in groups, but do not know how to select or highlight an entire group, which can then be removed.

    You can click on any column heading to sort by that column. Clicking the same header again reverses the sort.
    Then you use basic computer skills to select multiple items
    Click the point 1. Up or down several elements and hold down the SHIFT key when you click on the point 2. This allows to select the elements 1 and 2 and everything in between.
    Holding down the CTRL key and clicking on random element will select all clicked on element.
    Select an item. Press Ctrl + a to select.
    Hold down the CTRL key when you click on a selected item to deselect the item.

  • Cursor is to select all (select mode forced) and I can not type - Windows 7 on a virtual machine

    Hi all

    I'm working on a Microsoft Virtual Machine, in the middle of a laboratory. (So I don't want to restart the whole machine - tho I'm and restarting all applications on the machine.)  the problem: my cursor selects all as my pointer moves on the screen of any Windows application is open. I've been using SQL Server Management Studio 2012, but the same is occurrin in Excel 2010. This translates into not being able to type just something - it destroys the stuff I already typed, obvviously, since it is the selection of stuff, I don't want to not selected.  I tried to hit the ESC key already. I looked with settings for sticky keys and toggle keys, and none of them seem to apply. I can't understand what I enabled and how to return to the normal insert mode. I searched help and there is nothing on the SELECTION MODE.

    Help!

    SHIFT + S got me off the problem - she did replace the text with a capital S so I guess all I had to do was something like, followed by a cancellation to get my back text that has been deleted by typing something. That took me to be stuck in mode 'selection '. I don't have the problem anymore.

  • Select all the script maps

    Hi all

    Hoping someone out there can help, I need my script to end with one of the following 3 options:

    Select all: as in "cmd one"

    Select all the objects on the layer "Tabs".

    Select all the objects with the Script title boxes"tabs".

    Reason being, when the script ends I need a bunch of boxes to be pre-selected loan for a manual deselect by 1 point (chosen by the user) and then they Deletes selected objects manually to finish. (I didn't understand my original script here as has no impact on the autonomous part I need for the final selection)

    Hoping that this is a simple script but as it is rare to have a script of object selection and not do something with them, I think it's impossible to create.

    Thank you, Bren

    Read the object model and you will find that the equivalent script Cmnd + A is as follows:

    app.selection = null;
    pItems = app.windows[0].activeSpread.pageItems;
    app.select (pItems, SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);
    

    To select all items in the layer tab page, filter the items in the page:

    app.selection = null;
    pItems = app.windows[0].activeSpread.pageItems;
    
    for (i = pItems.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
      if (pItems[i].itemLayer.name === 'Tab') {
        app.select (pItems[i], SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);
      }
    }
    

    To select objects with a certain script label is a variant of the (or an addition to) the second script.

  • Select all of a specified length line segments?

    Hi all

    I have a document of very complex architecture (PDF), which has a dense grid of lines on this one. Unfortunately, this Grill has the same stroke weight, stroke color and opacity as the artwork itself.


    I found an old script (CS2) that line-by-line audit of each segment, but the operation takes 45 minutes to run on a very fast computer (and I have a lot of pages to clean). All lines are in 0.5 or 0.125 in. long, so at least they are compatible. Is there another approach, that I take here? Simply by selecting all perfectly vertical or horizontal lines perfectly help to separate the two.


    Thanks for any ideas or help them.

    Horizontal & vertical test would probably still a points assessment of path for each path and their x y relative to each other.

    Anyway, try this extract of the database for the selected items, it will move in a designated layer. I have a doc to test with two line sizes you vouliez.5/.125 to install target and two other lines that was not the right size, each instance of these sizes of lines where in the document about 10 000 times each. My results: a wide selection of 35 000 + = 7 seconds on my laptop in 2011.

    function lineLengths() {
        var s = new Date();
        var docID = app.activeDocument;
        try {
            var guidesLayer = docID.layers.getByName("collectedLines_Layer")
        } catch (e) {
            guidesLayer = docID.layers.add();
            guidesLayer.name = "collectedLines_Layer";
        }
        var sel = docID.selection;
        var sL = sel.length;
        var curItem;
        for (var i = 0; i < sL; i++) {
            curItem = sel[i];
            curLength = curItem.length;
            // 36 = .5" / 9 = .125"
            if (curLength == 36 || curLength == 9) {
                curItem.move(guidesLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
            }
        }
        var f = new Date() - s;

  • my site is using dreamweaver cs4, I can copy all my and put them in dreamweaver cs6 without any problem?

    my site is using dreamweaver cs4, I can copy all my and put them in dreamweaver cs6 without any problem?

    The simplest way to use CS6 on a former site of CS4 on the same computer would be of...

    1. open CS4 and choose Site > Manage Sites

    2. Select the site and choose export

    3. This will create a your site settings .ste file (no site file is stored in this)

    4 close the CS4 and open CS6

    5 CS6 hit Site > Manage Sites > import to bring these parameters from the .ste file

    This will give you the same exact settings (FTP and otherwise) of CS4 in CS6 while using the same files the.

    If you use another computer together, you will need to make a copy of your local site on the new machine folder, and then export/import the .ste as above with an extra step possible Reassociation the local site on the new machine folder, if the structure/location of the file is not the same between machines.
