• Layer mask groups converted from work plans to the size of the artboard in older versions of Photoshop

  I wanted to start this post as an idea, but I couldn't choose communities (it wouldn't let me), so here it is posted...

  ----

  Just came across this with a customer...

  I use for a mobile design project work plans, and I just got a screenshot with some texts asking why among work plans were really great. Way bigger than a phone. (I'm under NDA and cannot post the screenshot, but imagine there are a lot of iPhone size work plans and two of them seem to be at a right angle)

  I opened the file and on my end, everything is the right size. Remembering the weeks ago to tell the customer that they need to update their version of Photoshop for all this work correctly, I have take a look at the screenshot and see that they are on CC2014 - none of the work plans.

  What I'm asking here, is that, since we have data, plans of work are objects of a defined size and 'alive', why not just use these data to hide layer groups at the opening of the PSD / PSB (PSB in my case) in older versions of Photoshop?

  It could save you a TON of hassle and confusion.

  Hi Zack,

  High level to your query response is: no, there is no conduct business case for a general solution to what you are suggesting. So I don't see what is happening.

  I say that as someone who likes to give back and forth and backward compatibility.

  There are two parts of the problem that you raise. They are related and somewhat intertwined.

  1. Having the version previous (2014) do something reasonable with the data from the version the most recent (2015). Either the old version should be taught on the most recent data so it can make a decision about what to do, or the newer version must put additional data in the file format for consumption by the older version.
  2. Back and forth between versions. As you say, a much more difficult problem. In fact, we do a good job of that today. But we must be sure that whatever we do for (1) not to damage and back the wrong way.

  Let's be very clear: 2014 will not be touched, except for critical bugs, absolutely. And even before 2015 is released, it would have not been corrected to make it behave better with work plans. There is no way that I could see what is happening. So all we have done for better backward compatibility had to be entirely done within 2015.

  For the round trip, the general problem is something like this: we want to 2014 to read an object that has properties of 2015, he does not understand. While we might learn ch to keep these properties as opaque property, must also have rules for when these properties are not valid and thrown on the floor. Probably, if the object is changed. But not always. And sometimes when another object parent is changed. And so on. Right now, we destroy them unknown content from their reading in the old version. Make us and record what we understand. As a user, you receive an alert telling you that we are do this. It's the safest thing to do.

  There are special cases where a developer can see an opportunity to preserve a level of backward compatibility and back and forth. We try to do if we believe that it is safe. But this scenario happens only occasionally.

  In the case of work plans, made us really think about this: If we added a mask to the group for backward compatibility, it should do something with this mask reading around 2015. And what would happen if the user edited this mask in 2014 and opened upward in 2015 - and who edited mask do not align with the structures of the artboard? Things started to get dark quickly. We started to see traps. The workflow together to sheath special round trip had to be tested and verified. The cost was rising and this expense must be filtered through a cost/value trade-off. And then what happens when we add a new property to the structure of work plan? At these efforts for nothing?

  So we compromised with what you have today. Work plans become groups in 2014. The Group and the layer structure remains intact. Doesn't secretly add us and remove masks for the round trip. You can safely change the groups to your heart's content. When return you this document in 2015, you redo the work plans of the groups. Was not clear and safe way to do more than that given the time that we had.

  Take a step back and think about your problem, it doesn't seem to be a value to a script that converts group work plans + layer masks for your workflow to have your documents that is consumed by the customers of 2014. This would be carried out in 2015 because she would need understand the work plans. And maybe vice versa from 2014 to 2015, assuming that the documents were not published in a hostile way. We're not likely to write such a script as a generic tool, but someone competent with script might be able to do this.

  More that I intend to write, but hopefully, it gives you additional insight in the compromises that we have faced.

• create a layer to apply globally to all work plans

  I'm a website design in illustrator. The header (menu and logo) and the footer (quick links and other copyright information) will be the same on all pages.

  My site has 5 web pages, so I want to create 5 work plans showing the different pages. I'm doing what I can see the product in full before you start coding.

  Is there a way I can set up a plan of work as a model and have 5 work plans that link the artboard (template) so if I change the model work plan, it affects all web page work plans (5)?

  Thank you

  Nick

  Illustrator doesn't really have an option of 'master work plan. "

  If you are looking for the possibility of having identical articles on several work plans, simply create the first item on a work plan. Drag it to the symbols Panel. Then choose the command Edition > cut followed by Edit > paste on all working plans.

  The Paste command puts the item in the same position on all working plans. If you must then modify the object later, just edit the symbol and all instances on all work plans will be updated as well.

• Axes on all work plans

  Hi all

  I am trying to create some simple vertical centerlines to shoot at the same place on all existing work plans in my document.  What I have so far is creating a sufficient amount of centerlines, but only drawing in the right place on the half of the plans of work while the other half are drawn into the space between work plans.  Here's what I have so far.

  function addCenterLines() {
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
  
      for (var i = 0; i < doc.artboards.length; i++) {
  
      var abRect = doc.artboards[i].artboardRect;
  
  
      { // Add top line
      var line = doc.pathItems.add();
      line.stroked = true;
      line.setEntirePath( Array( Array(abRect[2]/2, abRect[1]-10), Array(abRect[2]/2, abRect[1]-20) ) );
      };
  
  
      { // Add bottom line
      var line = doc.pathItems.add();
      line.stroked = true;
      line.setEntirePath( Array( Array(abRect[2]/2, abRect[3]+10), Array(abRect[2]/2, abRect[3]+20) ) );
      };
  
  
      }
  }
  
  

  Here is a screenshot showing the top of a couple of work plans and the central lines placed between the two.

  

  I think I have a misunderstanding of how the abRect coordinates the work, as in which side is [0], [1], [2] and [3], which can be driven to my inability to get this right.  If someone could point me in the right direction so I can sort my construction lines, I would greatly appreciate!

  Thank you

  Ben

  NOTE: Centerlines provided in the print dialog box are not an option in this case.

• How to use the action on all work plans

  I'm trying to find a way to use a single action that can be applied to several work plans.

• work plans and the origin

  Hi, I am looking to attract some objects on fixed positions on work plans by first defining the origin of the document to the top - left of the artboard. However, this seems to work for some of the work plans, but not for all.

  Example code:

  #target illustrator
  
  // create artboards
  var CurrentDoc = app.documents.add ( DocumentColorSpace.CMYK, 595, 841, 12, DocumentArtboardLayout.GridByRow, 50, 6); 
  var artboardRef = CurrentDoc.artboards;
  
  // loopt through all artboards
  for ( var i = 0; i < artboardRef.length; i++ ) 
    {
     // set page and ruler origin
     var RulerLeft = artboardRef[i].artboardRect[0];
     var RulerTop  = artboardRef[i].artboardRect[1] ;
     CurrentDoc.rulerOrigin = [RulerLeft,RulerTop];
     CurrentDoc.pageOrigin  = [RulerLeft,RulerTop];
    
     //add text to artboard
     var cTextRef = CurrentDoc.textFrames.add();
     cTextRef.textRange.characterAttributes.textFont=app.textFonts.getByName("Verdana"); 
     cTextRef.textRange.characterAttributes.size = 27;
     cTextRef.contents = "ArtBoard: "+ (i+1);
     cTextRef.left = +55;
     cTextRef.top = -64;
     redraw();
    } 
  

  8 of the 12 work plans get the text at the right position (but not in the right order when I look at the range of work plans). Text for 4 work plans is placed completely outside all work plans.

  Any help is appreciated,

  Michel

  A mathematical operation is Ok, no need to set the origin.

  var CurrentDoc = app.documents.add ( DocumentColorSpace.CMYK, 595, 841, 12, DocumentArtboardLayout.GridByRow, 50, 6);

  // loopt through all artboards
  for ( var i = 0; i < artboardRef.length; i++ )
    {
     // set page and ruler origin
     var RulerLeft = artboardRef[i].artboardRect[0];
     var RulerTop  = artboardRef[i].artboardRect[1] ;
     //CurrentDoc.rulerOrigin = [RulerLeft,RulerTop];
     //CurrentDoc.pageOrigin  = [RulerLeft,RulerTop];

• You used to be able to scroll through the story of a tab with an arrow on the left of the screen to see all the pages that you have visited on this tab and now it is absent. You cannot select a page that has been perhaps 12 clicks back now.

  If I am on a site and click on several links on the page, I want to be able to look at the history of my clicks and return click earlier - as the second or third one instead of hitting the button arrow 12 times. You used to be able to get a history of drop-down list of all clicks on a tab - it has gone now and it is really annoying.

  There is an arrow to the left ("back" button). Click and hold down and after a second, you will have a list of the tab history. You can then select the page you want from there.

• Group all work plans

  Is it possible to move all the cards of the art at the same time? Our Creative Director wanted 12 concepts, and I like working with them, all this while I can improve/eliminate the worst concepts.

  

  Above is the result of reorganizing the art boards, but feel here like a kind of paste that manually move each art Board, I get this by making a new artbaord.

  

  I can just make a new document .ai, but just looking for more stuff work with plans as rename them to digital control with a single command.

  The art Board size is 41.7 "x 64,45, on CS6 and I could do in 2014 CC. Did not notice any help in CC2014, but we don't use CC every day, so may be missing something.

• display of the work plan in real time for mobile devices?

  I do my design in illustrator before exporting all the assets for use in mobile applications. Is there a way to get the work plan to display on my mobile device in real time? As it is now, I have to save the artboard as an image and put it on my phone to see what it looks like.

  Hi Mike,.

  The answer would be 'no', at the present time. You are already one of the workarounds.

• Updated to the new Photoshop CC 2015: work plan and the background are both white I can't see any outline. Will not change when I try to get a different background color.

  This seems almost elementary but I tried everything literally, the only thing I can think is that this is a bug.

  When I'm working on work plans, they are white and the background is white, so I don't quite see the outline. I tried to change the background color to dark gray or any other color, but nothing works. I restarted my computer, the software, everything. Nothing works. It only happens to me, everyone in my company isn't the problem. We checked out the contrast on my computer and it's all good. I had two different designers tinker around with it and they say it must be a bug because they have tried everything they can and I also.

  Now I simply add a grey box dark to my work plans so I can see the sketch, but it's really annoying, I have to do, especially since I work with Photoshop 4 hours per day.

  You must set your GPU options in preferences to something other than "Bacic."

• How to find no work plans and the lines of a doc. ?

  Hello

  could someone tell me how to count the number of work plans and existing lines in the document?

  the CS4 API can do?

  I couldn't find all the suites do.

  Please help I'm stuck.

  Thank you

  DeepAlone.

  The number of work plans is easy: AICropAreaSuite::GetCount() in AICropArea.h. The number of lines? It's more complicated, since there is no ownership of it. You figure, however, using the methods of AICropArea to join the rectangles (see struct above) of each work plan (or "box frame" as they are called in the nomenclature of the CS4 API). There is no guarantee that they are in lines, of course, since they can be moved. You can take a stab but looking at the top & bottom and see if a bunch of them line up; which would give you meaning to all the lines are there is they are in lines.
