Elements in a GroupItem

File HAVE with elements of group that can have the GroupShapes in GroupItems.

If you have a groupitem (contains a textframe and a rectangle object), I can loop through the group element, but it seems that it offers a return type as part of group for each item in the group. , But it should restore TextFrame and a rectangle. Ideas?

No matter if javascript or vbscript, example or soultion would be beneficial.

Tom

Check the length property of the groupitems for the group.

This is a function I use in a script to get all managers of related texts, you should be able to get what you need this:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Function: getTextFrames

Use: Gets all texts related to supplied Group executives

Entry: the Group Reference

Return: Table of managers of related texts

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function getTextFrames (groupRef) {}

Pass Manager - for each groupItem - groups

If it's a group, retreat, if it is a block of text, add to the table.

var textItemsList = new Array();

If (groupRef.groupItems.length > 0) {}

for (var i = 0; i)< groupref.groupitems.length;="" i++)="">

var theGroupItems = (getTextFrames (groupRef.groupItems [i]))

for (var j = theGroupItems.length - 1; j > - 1; j--) {}

textItemsList.push (theGroupItems [j])

}

}

}

If (groupRef.textFrames.length > 0) {}

for (var i = 0; i)< groupref.textframes.length;="" i++)="">

textItemsList.push (groupRef.textFrames [i])

}

}

If (groupRef.legacyTextItems.length > 0) {}

for (var i = 0; i)< groupref.legacytextitems.length;="" i++)="">

.write $ ('element of text legacy found\n")

var theTextFrame = groupRef.legacyTextItems [i] .convertToNative)

textItemsList.push (theTextFrame)

}

}

return textItemsList

}

  • How to align the elements (groupItem) with clipping masks?

    I have a script which aligns a groupItemToBeAligned on a layer to an another referenceGroupItem on another layer, well. Problem comes when the groupItemToBeAligned consists of elements that have a clipping, masks just to help

    groupItemToBeAligned.position = referenceGroupItem.position;
    
    

    Does not work, he takes the position of all, what is the best method to align what is actually visible? I tried to use:

    var vBounds = referenceGroupItem.visibleBounds;
    x1 = vBounds[0];
    y1 = vBounds[1];
    x2 = vBounds[2];
    y2 = vBounds[3];
    groupItemToBeAligned.position = [x1, y1];
    
    

    Produces the same results unfortunately.

    Huzzah, once again! I can't express how much it helps to have the file you are editing. This version is perfectly aligned all work plans. I would like to know if you have any other questions. =)

  • Sort groupItems Array using the left coordinate of visible limits?

    Hey all! It's been a while, but I'm back with some more busters of brain for you guys.

    I'm trying to re - work a script that Silly-V wrote to me. The goal is to create a work plan around each group of a document element in the order of the top left corner to the lower right (as if reading a book). (ultimately I would like to add a provision that excludes the possibility of having a work plan contained by another work plan, but it is a luxury that I can try to find later).

    Silly script works very well and does exactly what I need... about 60% of the time. The problem comes when I have an item that contains a clipping mask. Since work plans are created through groupItem.visibleBounds, Illustrator assumes that the invisible work that extends beyond the clipping mask is visible and creating a work plan that is too much.

    His version pushes the visible boundaries of each groupItem in an array, then sorts the visible boundaries of the left coordinate, then pushes this sub-table in another table and at the end, to coordinate kinds berries vertically at the top... However, I'm looking to push the real groupItems in the table instead of just the visible limits. So I would like to sort the groupItems by their visible limits table and then I have the opportunity of either by creating work plans based on their visible limits or (the possibility of) loop to make each groupItem selected = true and using the fitArtboardToSelectedart() command.

    I'm stuck on how to sort the groupItems table based on the visible limits... Here's what I have so far:

    my inclination is to set a variable to the visibleBounds of each groupItem in temp (which seems like it would need a loop), but it's not supposed loop me XIRR...? There is something really big, I'm missing here, but I can't wrap my head around it.

    Thanks for any help!

  • How to remove a path element of in a group element?

    I'm generating and download of QR codes in vector format (.eps).  I use VB Script to place each QR code in an Illustrator document for later laser engraving as a batch.  Each QR code is composed of a bunch of small, individual places all filled locked in a single large transparent square.  Here is a sample of one of QR codes: http://laserfolly.com/2753.eps during the attack, control laser interpreter software the place enclosing outer such that it confuses the algorithm 'inside out', used to determine if a given path item should be engraved, i.e., it 'overflows '.  This causes some of the individual squares must be interpreted as not filled... even if they are.  If I delete the path square enclosing element outside then all right.  But there are hundreds of these codes in each batch... so it's prohibitive time to remove these outdoor places by hand.  Here is my request: anyone know how to use Illustrator scripting (I use VB) to identify this outdoor place and delete at the time where it is placed in the document in batch?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    Bob

    Gentlemen, thanks for the ideas.  You stimulate the following solution:

    myPlacedItem.Layer.GroupItems (1). PathItems (1). Delete

    I couldn't get to the GroupItems or PathItems directly through the PlacedItem object, but once I dove in the layer property... voila!

    Thanks for your help!

  • How to hide/show the individual elements in a document

    I try to hide all items in a document (and store each original visibility state), iterate the elements preselected user and perform an export for each item in the selection (I've got this covered part) and finally restore the visibility of each new item state (where the initial visibility state storage is necessary).

    I found that I can browse all the elements in the document to help

    app.activeDocument.pageItems[i]
    

    where i is the page element identified by the index of the i - th in the pageItems collection.

    What is not clear, however, is how to get the visibility of this element of the page state. Indeed, there is a visbilityVariable of property associated with the elements of the page, but when I try to 'control' the content with an alert message, I get "undefined".

    Is there the best ways through all elements in a document? Ideally, I would like all the elements of access regardless of the weather, they are elements of the path, group items, items of text frame or what have you. I need this collection in the State of visibility of each item read/write. Thank you!

    "visibilityVariable" is for "data-driven graphics", regardless of those who may be. Try the property 'hidden' instead.

    Don't worry, you got it right first time. 'PageItem' is the global superclass of all the graphic elements. Starting from the ESTK help (rather, my version as well):

    PageItem class
    A page element object.

    Superclass of CompoundPathItem, GraphItem, GroupItem, LegacyTextItem, MeshItem, NonNativeItem, PathItem, PlacedItem, PluginItem, RasterItem, SymbolItem and TextFrameItem

  • Save the transitions as elements?

    I have a bunch of movies that will need the same transitions intro and outro, is there a way to save the transitions as an element so I can just copy and past them in quickly?

    Thank you.

    You can save short assemblies and projects with transitions between dummy clips.  You could then copy and paste into a new project and replace the dummy clips without affecting transitions.  Drag the new video on the model so the green '+' sign shows and then select "replace".

    But when I try to open the installation folder I keep said he wants to make changes and ask my computer password, which I offer, then the folder install disappears.  Try again to get the same result.

    See the following topics:

    Basics for uninstalling software

    Most OS X applications are completely independent "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the trash.  Applications can create preferences files that are stored in the folder/Home/Library/Preferences /.  Although they do nothing once you remove the associated application, they take up little space.  If you want you can find them in the location above and delete them, too.

    Some applications may install an uninstall program that can be used to remove the application. If you can't find the uninstall program you can download the free software, easy to find, to locate the files that must be deleted. Places you should look for include:

    1. / Home/Library/application support / folder. Check if the application has created a folder, and then delete the folder that is located in the application Support folder.
    2. Applications can install a startupitem, or Item Log In.  StartupItems are usually installed in the folder/Library/StartupItems/or in the folder/Home/Library/StartupItems /.  Journal items are defined in the preferences users and groups.  Open the 2003′s preferences, then click the login items tab.  Select the item in the list and click the Delete button [---] to remove it.
    3. Some software uses demons start or agents.  Look for them in/library/LaunchAgents/Library/LaunchDaemons/or in/Home/Library/LaunchAgents /.

    Some applications install a reception in the folder/library/receipts /.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The element typically has an extension ".pkg".  Do not forget that you also remove this element because some programs use to determine if it is already installed.

    There are a lot of utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:

    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Hazel
    4. AppCleaner
    5. CleanApp
    6. iTrash
    7. AppBolish
    8. AppUninstaller
    9. Uninstaller

    For more information, visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the removal of the software.
