Is it possible to automatically export each layer of an Illustrator file in PNG files, with PNG files, taking the name of the layer in the Illustrator file?

I found this useful script before:

  • Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it?

    Hello!!!

    Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it? I mean how to program a folder so that everything that he would automatically become hidden? I would be very grateful...

    Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it?

    Yes. A sort of roundabout.

    For this example, create a folder on your C drive named HideTest.

    Download http://winsupport.org/utilities/freedos-choice.html Choice.Exe (click on the link to download the utility program near the bottom of the page. "And save it in the C:\HideTest folder).

    Open Notepad and then copy and paste the following text in it:

    Off @Echo

    : All
    Set FilesToHide = No.

    : GoToDir
    C:
    cd\HideTest

    : Top
    CLS
    IF FilesToHide %! Is Yes! Attrib *. * + H

    : Choice
    Choice.Exe /c:YN t:Y, 30 are looking for files to hide

    If exist TempList.Txt Del TempList.Txt

    : Loop
    Goto: Top

    : Output
    Set FilesToHide =
    If exist TempList.Txt Del TempList.Txt
    Output

    Click on file, then save under...

    Go to C:\HideTest

    Name the file Hide.Bat

    Click Save

    Close Notepad

    Open Windows Explorer

    Go to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Start where user_name is your own username.

    In the right pane, right click, select New, and then click shortcut.

    Click Browse, and then navigate to C:\HideTest and click on Hide.Bat, click Next.

    Type a new name or accept the default name and click Finish.

    Right-click on the newly created shortcut, and click Properties.

    Change the race: from the normal window to reduced.

    Click on apply, and then click Ok.

    Restart your computer.

    Note: In the line above Choice.Exe c:YN t:Y, 30 are looking for files to hide, 30 is the number of seconds it will wait before checking the new files. This can be from 1 to 99.

    Edit: Just to satisfy my curiosity, why do you do this?

  • is it possible to export each chapter in FCPX like a movie without using the tool of the range separated

    I have a movie I created with 26 chapters in there.  I want to export all the individual chapters as separate movies.   I know it's possible by making each chapter using the tool of the range and export everything that is selected.  But, I'm looking to win time by selecting all the chapters may export both.   Is this possible?

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    NO you must do them sequentially, even if you don't have to wait for it to finish before you can start the next. Stack them just to export in a sequential manner.

  • Is it possible to search for text in an Illustrator file from an external source like the Finder (Mac)?

    I'm trying to find some similar text strings on hundreds of files.  Specifically, I'm looking for dimensions.  4.50 "for example.  I want to see how many files have this dimension within them so that I can group them for production purposes.

    Is there a way to search for text in Illustrator (I use CS5) files from Finder?  Or another program of research?  I use a Mac.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated and would help save me a lot of time.

    Yes. While the Finder cannot find the content of .ai files, it can do it with .pdf files. If you change the extension of a .ai in .pdf file, you can use Spotlight to search by content.

    This fact, combined with a file rename utility as A Better Finder Rename, you can leave temporarily rename all of your .ai files so they end up in something like 'RENAMED.pdf '. Then, once you have performed your search, find all files ending in RENAMED.pdf, to delete the word "RENAMED" and change the end for .ai again.

    Of course, this isn't something you want to get into the habit of doing.

  • Export of several paths from photoshop to several illustrator files

    Hello

    I have a task that I often repeat, and I know that there should be a way to write a script for the same photoshop thing. But my level of technology in scripts is zero and I was hoping that someone could help me?

    Background: I am an artist and convert image Posterization files paths to feed a laser CNC cutter. The image is broken down into separate layers (which are glued on paper), and each layer is converted to describe paths (which needs to be cut by the machine). for each image that I do there are about 3-8 paths that I create, each the name of a particular name. Then I manually export each path one to an illustrator file (export > traces to Illustrator), the files are named with a prefix_ < the path name >.

    Sometimes one large image is made upwards of 25 small sections (each section is a separate photoshop file) each with 3-8 paths and it's all of them adds up to a lot of manual work each time.

    is it possible to write a script that will export each individual path from phtoshop file to an illustrator file separated with the name prefix_ < path name > in a given directory (or on the desktop if that is too complicated a foler)?

    I searched the web but have not found a result that meets this particular need. And as I mentioned my knowledge scripts is not good enough to create/change myself.

    Thanks in advance...

    Avinash,

    I think Photoshop is not the best tool for your job. I would use Adobe Illustrator,

    Vectorization or Trace of Image (since CS6).

    The vectorization of a raster image is entirely under control many parameters. Export to EPS

    shows in blocks of text like this file:

    EF

    MO = moveto

    CV = curveto (Bezier curve)

    CP = closepath

    CMYK color =

    EF = eofill (fill mode)

    Occasionally, for straight lines:

    Li = lineto

    Ignoring the color and fill mode, it should be 'simple' extract the Bézier path information.

    Why is it necessary to separate all these paths in single files?

    Laser cutting can be controlled for all the work in a stream, because button

    and closepath do not correspond to the "move without cutting" and "end of cut this way.

    Of course I am lack of knowledge of your actual task. Please consider my contribution

    as a suggestion for an alternative.

  • Export of layers in Illustrator files

    Hello

    It seems that there are some people who want to do what I do. I have a graphic made up of different elements in CS4. I have distributed to each of these elements to separate the layers by layers / release to layers (sequence). For an opinion on what I'm trying to do, I have 136 layers and I don't want to save each of them individually by hand!

    I would now like to each of these layers that save Illustrator files.

    There are two factors that I need to consider:

    1. As these individual files will be drawn to Apple Motion 5 comes alive, it is important that the script or plugin to save the files retains the positioning of the element compared to the artboard.
    2. Is it is not possible to maintain the positioning of the element compared to the artboard, I have placed 2, 1 pixel by 1 pixel "dots" in the corners opposite the artboard on a locked, individual layer. The script or the plugin could alternatively export every element layer in a new file, including these two points in each file to give movement to work with limitations.

    I met many plugins that save as png or PDF layers, but what is important, I need to keep the images as vectors. I also need to keep the elements positioned in the artboard.

    I also met two scripts here: http://forums.Adobe.com/message/2759051 , but the first script seems unnecessary (in my case, it saves 136 files with all items) and the second script gives me an error of syntax for the line " " " -get a list of the files in the files to be processed in the sourceFolder".

    Any advice you could please lend would be most appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

  • Auto crop each layer before export layers to files

    The integrated script "export layers to files" isn't crop jpeg exported to the size of the image on each layer.  Instead, it maintains the initial size of the photoshop file and puts the white around the image of the layer.  Y at - it a script that will trim the size of the layer before export for each layer?

    I modified the original Adobe export of layers to Files.jsx to support the layers of trimming with transparency when exporting to JPEG.

  • Is it possible to "solo" a layer?

    Is it possible to "solo" a layer?  I think it can be done in photoshop and AfterEffects and is common in multitrack audio applications.  Basically, I would easily hide all the layers except one I work without having to manually, click the eyeball to each individual layer.

    Is this possible in Captivate 9?

    Thank you

    He is using the eyeball in the timeline icon, no other way AFAIK. You can zoom in on the object (same shortcut keys as in PS). Why would you want to hide all the chronologies object except it's a little cryptic to me. I use CP a few hours a day and I never miss this option. Maybe you can explain why it might be important?

  • Is it possible to export the layers of work plans?

    I was so happy when Adobe introduced plans to work in Photoshop. And was impatient to try it on the practice. And earlier I finished Web site design that has by page 3 work plans. And a lot of layer comps on every page.

    And it turned into a nightmare...

    I can't export all the layers automatically. I have to manually put in each layer comp, click on "export as...". ». In the same file names are the same (called as a work plan). So I have to rename the exported images before the switch then layer comp and export it.

    If I use the command "export > Layer Comps to files...". ', it exports all work plans in 1 file for each layer comp. But the worst thing is that these files look like this:layouts.jpg

    -with huge space empty around work plans.

    I spent a lot of time designing the site and now I even can't show the client!

    So my question is:

    Is there a way to export the layers of each work separately plan with corresponding file names? (as it works for the old "Layer Comps to files... ("without work plans).

    But if there is no solution I think it's a major issue in usability.

    Thank you in advance for your help!
