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 +.

and Windows is only used from VB

//-------------------------------------------------------------------

// Offset Path in apperence panel

// Script by Qwertyfly
// contact [email protected]
// version 0.1 beta

//-------------------------------------------------------------------

//number of offset paths
var Qty = 5;

//amount to offset
var Offset = -5;

//units to offest in
var Unit = "px"; 

//time to wait in milliseconds before sending keys.
// more time is slower but more stable
// I was able to run this with it set to 0, but a little bit of a pause is a good idea.
var wait = 10;

//-------------------------------------------------------------------
function FillDialog_Windows(distance){
    var VB = [
        'WScript.Sleep ' + wait + '',
        'Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")',
        'WshShell.SendKeys "' + distance + '"',
        'WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"'
        ].join('\n');
    var VBgo = new File('~/go.vbs');
    VBgo.open('w');
    VBgo.write(VB);
    VBgo.close();
    VBgo.execute();
}
function MakeStroke(offset){
    app.executeMenuCommand('Adobe New Stroke Shortcut');
    FillDialog_Windows(offset);
    app.executeMenuCommand('Live Offset Path');
}

for(var i = 1; i

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you can only batch with commands in the option "treat multiple files" of the editor or the 'Export' one in the Organizer. Action would be able to combine several orders for a single file, but do not use the command given on a lot. You would need a script for this.

    The two new orders to 14 elements (haze removal and shake reduction) can be very effective, but they can also produce strange artifacts... Their use in the batch may be undesirable.

    I recommend the following solution to improve lots of files needing to increase the local contrast:

    If you work with raw files, open a small batch of files from the Organizer in the ACR module. Use the cursor to 'clarity' to all files in the batch and add some sharpness.

    If you work with JPEG files, use the editor and choose "open in camera raw" option for your batch chosen files from the file.

    Who should provide a good improvement to most of your files. You can use two new orders than in the pictures with the specific defects:

    -shake (common with telephoto lenses) removal

    -mist removal (not only haze, but images softened with "flare")

  • How to add several presets in a reactive mode design without having to resize the screen every time

    I want to be able to add several screen size presets with the ability to view sensitive design but do not want to resize the screen and add each individually through the predefined custom function.

  • How to add a track without delay 5.1 duplicate?

    To add a track 5.1 for my project I duplicate the movie timeline and change the stereo to 5.1. The problem is the double program capacity (3, 50 GB are now 7 GB). I don't know if I can add the 5.1 as a second track in the same timeline in order to avoid the increase of gb.

    is it possible to add the 5.1 in a second part of the chronology of the film? and how do I associate a button in the menu to post a link to the film with this second track 5.1?

    If this is not possible, how can I do a 5.1 option without duplicating the weight?

    Sorry my bad English!

    Thank you

    Use the option specify Link in the properties panel to set the link to the new audio track

  • How to create a shortcut with relative path

    Hi all

    I'm a Linux user, so I don't have enough experience to solve this problem.

    How can I create a shortcut with relative path?

    Usually it is easy to create a shortcut with the absolute path for example:
    Windows accepts shortcut path with absolute c:\bin\app.exe, but he does not accept the following relative path:
    .\bin\app.exe

    Hi mbnoimi,.

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

    To make a shortcut path parent here is a simple solution. Create a shortcut to cmd.exe running the start command to open the current directory. Then set the MDC in the
    The shortcut properties.

    Follow these steps:

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

    Now, right-click on it and get the properties of the shortcut (shortcut tab).

    The shortened full path must have been set to this:
    %windir%\system32\CMD.exe /c start.

    Set the directory to "start in" (i.e. DLG) to be a relative path:
    (Example for a shortcut on the desktop

    )
    ...\SendTo

    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
    bottom right.

    Now you can copy this file and simply change the "start in:" directory
    to book new related shortcuts.

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

    Hope this information was useful.

    Let me know if it worked.

    All the best!

  • How to add several records of existing virtual machines

    Is it possible to add several drives in one shot to a virtual machine?

    I know it's possible with the new - vm cmdlet, and if I manually modify the virtual machine, I can add as much as I want.

    The cmdlet New-hard drive allows only 1 at a time, I can say.

    Any suggestions?

    You are right, that the cmdlet New - hard drive allows the addition of 1 HDD at the time.

    If you want to add several hard disks, you will need to use the ReconfigVM_Task method.

  • How to use several "Track Motion' and 'Stabilize the Motion' trackers.

    I am very new to After Effects. I looked everywhere for hours trying to find an answer to this question without success. I'm sure that I use while simply not the right search terms.  I have a video that is make up of 3 different clips.  I add a tracker of movement to stabilize her, he wants to apply it to the entire video in all three clips. Each of the three shots followed different points.  Is it possible I can specify the first tracker applies only to the Let's say the first 30 seconds, then add a second tracker to the middle with his own track point clip, then a third tracker for the end?

    All I can think to do is take the video share in 3 sections, and then apply the tracker each. When it's done I could then combine them into one video. Not the easiest if.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You must cut the clips and follow them separately.

  • 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.

    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.

    You can find what you need with the option "draw inside:

    In your example, I drew the black rectangle, then the red circle. With the selected circle, I clicked on draw inside. I could then draw the white rectangles, but they have appeared within the circle:

  • How to add several triggers a widget of composition?

    Hi, I'm creating a menu similar to the one illustrated fantasy here www.bestbuy.ca where I can place several categories and show images and links to each page in the menu dropdown. I started with the pack of menu musegrid one and then added another blank publication widget drop-down text box. For some reason but I can't add more than 3 triggers that shrinks with the widget. I managed to get an extra somehow (don't ask me how, I swear it just shown), but I need a little more. What I am doing wrong? I'm sure its something simple. I can add screenshots or anything else, let me know what you see. Thanks for the help!

    You can build it like this:

    Widget of the composition as your main (parent) menu, with a News widget featured as your secondary menu (child).

    Note: I experienced problems when adding new triggers on a widget that is inside another widget. I found it easier first to build the 'child' widget outside the widget 'parent' and then move it in the widget of "parent" when finished

  • How to get several lines with series C 9501 running with SoftMotion on a cRIO 9074 modules?

    Hello

    I'll have set up many of the variable axes defined by the user with two modules in series c 9501 running on a Compact RIO 9074 stepper.

    I started with the example of "9501 Stepper Drive (Getting Started)", which worked fine with a simple variable user defined axis (Test-interactive panel, SoftMotion functionality on the host).

    I need to control 2 axes and I could not find any help on adding a second axis, so I came up with the following approach. My approach was to expand the FPGA VI in a way to add features to the second variable axis defined by the user, so I did the following steps:

    1. Add a new variable axis defined by the user.

    2. Add the variables defined by the same user as the first axis had during the second axis.

    3. a copy of global variables that the first axis necessary to use independent global variables for the second axis.

    4. develop the FPGA VI while-loops with the circuits of same for axis 2 and ensure that the circuits for axis 2 use their own global variables, the right modules, their user-defined variables and change the index of the axis from 0 to 1 (don't know exactly how the axis index is defined).

    4B. I also tried to copy all the loops for each axis had their independent loops. Then adapt the global variables, modules, the variables defined by the user, index of the axis.

    The FPGA VI compiles and runs, but when I get to the Panel of interactive Test for both axes and try to enable them, it throws an error-70228 (Controller unable to confirm that the drive is enabled).

    I'm doing something wrong? Is it perhaps a simpler way to get two 9501 modules working with SoftMotion?

    I can provide my two examples of published projects (same loop loop / independent), if necessary.

    LabVIEW installation:

    LabVIEW 2014f1

    Module FPGA 2014

    In time real Module 2014

    SoftMotion 2014f1

    cRIO-drivers 2014f1

    Xilinx tools 14.7 2014

    I hope someone can help me, thanks in advance.

    I managed to make it work.

    I was missing that a Subvi in the FPGA VI engine control missed their axis index 0. I couldn't even they worked with an index of the axis until I looked into the block diagram of those.

    So what happened was that my routines on the second axis disabled immediately the first axis because of bad axis index.

    Definition of the index of 0 and 1 axis (axes 1 and 2) for each unique Subvi of motor control was what was missing.
