• Make a group of clipping with a compound path

  So, as of today, I am new to scripting for Illustrator, I use the ExtendScript Toolkit. However, I am not new to my own script solutions and I do not have any experience with JavaScript.

  What I'm trying to do is the following: for all selected items-> duplicate selected item and make a group of simple clipping with it

  What I'm left with visually does not change the picture, but gives me a lot of clipped colored areas that I then can I change in isolated mode, which allows me good shading faster and better. That the doing by hand takes hours on some pictures, it would take a second with a script.

  The script itself is already works for normal PathItems. As evident in the title, as soon as I have to apply the same thing to CompundPathItems things stop working. My question is a bit like this old thread [problem with clipping path transparent], but I couldn't find a solution because I get different behavior.

  When I run the same script that works perfectly with the normal PathItems with CompoundPathItems I get this: 9046 error: the top element in the group must be a path element to create a mask

  Well, it's a problem. There is absolutely no difference between making a clipping with a simple path mask and a compound path in the GUI. Frankly reference guide not helped with this problem at all, the only thing that I learned from it is that the CompoundPathItem object is an attribute of cutting, but those included PathItems.

  Here's what I have so far:

  
  

  	If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'PathItem') {}
  	newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
  	copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
  	Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
  	newGroup.clipped = true;
  	}

  As I said, this part is exactly what it is supposed to do for normal paths.

  For CompoundPaths, I use this work around.

  	If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'CompoundPathItem') {}
  	newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
  	copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
  	Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
  	compoundItems = selected [i] .pathItems;
  	compoundIndex = compoundItems.length;
  	for (f = 0; f < compoundIndex; f ++) {compoundItems [f] .clipping = true ;}
  	var lineList = new array (10);
  	for (l = 0; l < lineList.length; l ++) {lineList [l] = new Array (I * 10 + 50, ((i-5) ^ 2) * 5 + 50) ;}}
  	newPath = app.activeDocument.pathItems.add ();
  	newPath.setEntirePath (lineList);
  	newPath.moveToBeginning (newGroup);
  	newGroup.clipped = true;
  	newPath.remove ();

  Mind you, this workaround works in so far that it ignores that annoying error and evil and composite clipping path also works with the only problem being that created composite clipping path as it is always displayed in its original colours in the layers section and is always selectable. When I lock the composite clipping path I can work with it, but still...

  So the question is, what am I missing here? Surely, there must be a good way to do this.

  app.executeMenuCommand ()? That is me away so far, might be just the right thing. I will definitely take a look, now just to find a ref about it, because unfortunately official documents Ref I do not mention this command. Any place with a list of possible commands?

  Ah, also of course I only do for the isolation mode. If you care to hear the background, it is here:

  As I said it's for photos of shading, I'm working on. I repeated and tried through a bunch of techniques. For example, gradient mesh on my first few true works. Now these cracks don't do well with complex shapes, which previously I mitigated by using a simple square or rectangle gradient mesh and using the original form as a color clipping mask. It worked, but it was a huge field of work.

  After a lot of attempts that I went to the use of simple gradients as a background for the form, and then I do the shading freehand with the blob Brush tool, using a graphic style and filters to make it look like to the right. Is better, but do it right all the clipping masks takes me much more time than anything else.

  Now the problem is that shading is not supposed to cross the lines, it's impossible to do correctly without messing up the order, either using clipping masks, where the script. Because you know, if you use a form of the task with a strong Gaussian blur near the lines, you'll find yourself with stuff on both sides. If you do not start close to the line that the shading will be not look right if the darker the shade needs to be close to the line. And that's where magic of clipping masks.

  And finally, here's an example of how I work with the script and the result:

  After that I drew a sketch, adjust the line widths and at the neatness I turn the paths to sketch the lines and then turn them into a live paint Group (which would ruin the line widths, unless you put the paths in first contour lines).

  With this live paint group need me a few minutes to color my piece dish. Then I develop the live paint group, in case of doubt, spend a few more minutes to make transparent traces of all regions, I need the shadow in one piece, and then I select all areas and use my script to activate the neat clipping masks. Then I can click on any field, enter the isolation mode, and go up one level, so I'm in the appropriate group, where I can shadow freely without the problem beyond the lines.

  At the end which allows me to apply shading complex and comprehensive, without wasting time to get there.

  PS: well, I just found out that draw inside is really close to what I want to do, and oddly enough, it produces the same Visual discrepancy with transparent traces that produces my script. I'll take a closer look that, while my script is a little more than just the stuff of clipping mask, so maybe I'll go for a hybrid solution. Everything that makes for a better workflow.

• How to add several tracks with offset path?

  Hello

  I would like to create a script that can create multiple strokes with offset path (incremental or material (user will enter value))

  Is it possible to add several traces? I have found no examples in the script reference or elsewhere.

  Note: Mixtures does not give exactly the same results because sometimes especially when you are dealing with fonts outline paths is to be wrongly mixed a way.

  I'd be happy if someone give at least the main command loop.  I'll try to rest and will share here because I find the solution.

  Thank you

  Best regards.

  

  OK, I'm going to assume your sub windows through the capture in the opening screen post.

  This is a completely different approach.

  This example uses executeMenuCommand so is only compatible with CS6 +.

• How to add a button with Javascript library

  Hello

  I am using Captivate 5.5 to create a template.

  In the files that will be created by using this template, we will add a button that executes a Javascript script. Now my question is, given that this button will be used across multiple slides in the file, I can add this button (with the Javascript code) to the library? We currently create manually everytime.

  We do not have a programmer on our team, so that we cannot create the widget. Is there another way?

  Thanks for your help.

  Anthony

  Why do you need to remove the slide?

  I have a white blank slide at the beginning of all my modules of Captivate. There are some issues that appear to be avoided if the first slide has nothing about it.  You don't have to do this very long slide.  Usually mine are just a second, in the long term.

• Urgent: how to create a shortcut with a relative path?

  I put a set of files and folders nested on a server on a network location.  (Use of office machines Vista; I don't know that the server is running.  The files are a text file and two Office 2007 files).  Users will copy this set-up files on their computer (there is a program of VBA macro in a Word document, they need).  They need tomorrow (Friday) and the shortcut path gives me fits!

  The hierarchy looks like:

  MainDir
  File.txt
  SubDir1
  Shortcut to the Word file
  SubDir2
  Word file
  Excel file

  I don't think even the paths associated with the shortcut until I looked a little deeper.  Because I put all the files and folders together on my computer, when I did a drag - move in the folder on the server, the target properties and start in the shortcut always pointed at my computer!  So now, I'm afraid that a user copy this on their machine will have a shortcut that points to ~ my ~ computer, instead of the file on their computer.

  I deleted the shortcut located on the server and creates a new one from the Word file in the directory on the server.  Better - I think - but it still points to the location of the server.  And it is even more likely that, when the user opens the shortcut, it will try to open the file on the server, vice the file on their computer.

  How can I create a shortcut to this Word file that will pick up the relative path from around where to reside?  I can just click > properties and change the target and start in paths?  Or do I need a VBScript or VBA?

  I have to get this done fast!  A kick - in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Ed,

  It is not possible to create a shortcut with a relative path.

  You can try the following allows to bypass and check if it helps:

  Create a shortcut to cmd.exe running the start command to open the current directory. Then set the MDC in the

  The shortcut properties.

  a. make a new shortcut to: cmd.exe /c start.

  b. now right-click on it and get the properties of the shortcut (shortcut tab).

  c. the shortened full path must have been set to this:

  %windir%\system32\CMD.exe /c start.

  d. set the directory of "start in" (i.e. DLG) to be a relative path:

  (Example for a shortcut on the desktop)

  ...\SendTo

  e. click on "change icon...". "and set" look for icons in this file: "to: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll and press ENTER.

  Standard folder icon will probably be in the lower right.

  f. now you can copy this file and simply change the "start in:" to make new related shortcuts directory.

  NOTE: The above steps are just an example, so try this at your own risk. And check if it works.

• How to add a filter with a report field

  Hello, I'm running Apex 3.x and I currently have in production, a standard report page with the following columns:

• Does anyone know how to add a folder with sample data the installer to labview

  I have set up a program to install the application to a project I'm working on that.  I want to add a folder to the installation with some sample data files.  Currently, I added a readme file that tells the user to decompress a file included with the Setup program in a certain folder.  Is there a way to automate the process and include this with the installer?

  First add all the files you want to include in the project. Then in the properties of the installer:

  1 use tab destinations to add a folder if you have the sample files contained in their own folder.

  2. on the file source page, expand "My Computer" and find the files in the project you want to add.

  3. Select the folder you want to that they be located on the right side and click the right arrow.
