Script to find all < Clip group > and perform an Action of harvest

Hello

I am currently scripting for Illustrator CS6. I'm pretty new to JavaScript. I was wondering if it is possible for a script to identify all the < Clip group > in the file and to run an Action to crop in pathfinder? I created the Action to refocus, but I'm not sure of how to call the action properly to make it work. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

It's a bit complicated, but mostly because of the order of things, in addition to the basic syntax, etc.

#target illustrator

function test() {}

var doc = app.activeDocument;

app.executeMenuCommand ("clipping masks menu item");

var thisClipItem;

var esc = 50; Make sure you have a loophole for education

While (doc.selection.length! = 0 & esc > 0) {}

-ESC;

thisClipItem = doc.selection [0];

doc. Selection = null;

thisClipItem.parent.selected = true;

app.doScript ("CropArt", "CropArtSet");

doc. Selection = null;

app.executeMenuCommand ("clipping masks menu item");

}

};

test();

You have to keep the "juggling" selection so that the right things are selected when you want. In this case, we get all the clipping using the selection masks, but then to be able to use the harvest, deselect all except one of the clipping paths, select the parent group to get the clip and his art at a time, then use the harvest and deselect the result, then make sure you select the clipping paths again. The while loop is supposed to leave when it is no longer able to select any clipping paths, but when things go wrong, there is a variable esc - right now it is set at 50, make sure that this number is bigger than your clipping paths expected.

  • Script to find all the VMS with dates/no tools installed.

    Hey,.

    I need help guys.  I need a script that finds all VMS in vCenter which do not have the tools installed or tools or outdated.  I also need the script to generate the following data in a CSV file.  Name of the virtual machine and the State of the tools (not installed or outdated).

    Thank you guys.

    Good suggestion. 'Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine' is much faster than ' Get - VM | Get-View»

    You inspired me to go at maximum speed. So I moved all the filtering also to the cmdlet Get-View. The following script is used in my environment about 30% faster than what you suggested. My first script took me 1 minute 50 seconds. Your script 1,624 seconds. And the following script 1,110 seconds in an environment with about 500 virtual machines...

    Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Guest.ToolsStatus -Filter @{
      "Config.Template"="False";"Guest.ToolsStatus"="toolsNotInstalled|toolsNotRunning|toolsOld"} | `
    Select-Object @{N="Name";E={$_.Name}},@{Name="ToolsStatus";E={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}} | `
    Export-CSV -Path VmToolsStatus.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
    

    "Config.Template"="False" filter models so that you get only the virtual machines.

    "Guest.ToolsStatus"="toolsNotInstalled | toolsNotRunning | toolsOld" returns invited with ToolsStatus toolsNotInstalled or toolsNotRunning or toolsOld.

    Thanks to Eric Wannemacher to show me how to use regular expressions in a Get - view filter in his blogpost: VMware PowerCLI and Get-View filters.

  • I am unable to find all the programs and features in win7 as I want to uninstall yahoo messenger

    I am unable to find all the programs and features in win7 as I want to uninstall yahoo messenger

    That's what Yahoo have to say - http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?y=PROD_ACCT&page=content&id=SLN408&actp=lorax&locale=en_US

    If the control panel is set to display the categories - programs - programs and features

    If the control panel is set to display the icon - programs and features.

    Yahoo Messenger should be in this list.

    If you say programs and features isn't in the Panel or Yahoo Messenger is installed, but not in the list, then something else is wrong.

    Try in "search programs and files" type "programs and features" (without the quotes). In the results list, you should see "programs and features" near or at the top of the list, click it.

    If Yahoo messenger is installed and will not uninstall, see the above link to the bottom of his page.

  • Ungroup all the groups, and then create a single group

    Hey

    I can't get a script together where I can disassociate all groups in a document, then put everything under one group. Everyhting I work with as a single layer has, but for some of the arts that I am importing were groups within groups ect. To perform some actions, I did well after that I need everything that he in one group.

    I searched for an answer and found this (Carlos Canto wirtten)

    separate the function (whereToUngroup, group) / / where to separate them? layer, document, another group?

    {

    for (i = group.pageItems.length - 1; i > = 0; i--)

    group.pageItems [i] .move (whereToUngroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);

    }

    But I can't make it work.

    OK, it's just...

    Features 101 - you do not to change anything, you assume that build one (or someone else) and to use and reuse. You simply provide the parameters of that function was built to receive.

    to call the function (to use) to provide your own parameter names, they failed to match the original function names.

    var myGroup = blablabla... the group to dissociate

    var myDestinationGroup = blah... the group where you want the elements once separated, it could be a layer or a Document

    Unlink (myDestinationGroup, myGroup); call the function

    Since you are new to scripting and new here, I suggest to start good and mark questions as "correct" (or answered, I don't remember) whenever you get a satisfactory answer to a little close the thread, you don't have to if you think that you don't have the answer you are looking for.

    Thanks to the handy Get-VMHostService cmdlet, you can quite easily get this info:

    Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostService | ?{"TSM","TSM-SSH" -contains $_.Key -and $_.Running} | Select VMHost,Key,Running
    

    The result is something like:

  • need help syncing and editing all clips, .mxf and .mov.

    I put camera olympus MDGs avchd clips in a sequence and mpeg2 clips of 100 xl in sequence 2 canon camera. I put markers in each seq to the sync points.  First 5.5.2 won't let me not sync them if I bring seq in seq 1 2. How to synchronize them and then edit them in multi camera window? I have windows 7 with mercury and CS 5.5 motor premium.  12 GB RAM

    Hi benkerramo,

    How you should work is to score a point of synchronization on all elements in the project not the panel mounting Panel. Then, once you have your points of synchronization for all the clips you would do a multicamera from that sequence.

  • script to return all the VM and OS information

    I was wondering if someone could tell me a script available or the good line out of operating system information associated with against all VM in VC.  I think I have a load of scripts, but none seems to give me this specific info.  Any help appreciated.

    See you soon

    H

    It's because this line returns the GuestFamily.

    Use the ID property to get the name of OS VI knows.

    $vms = get-vm | get-view
    foreach($vm in $vms){
      write-host $vm.Name $vm.guest.GuestId
    }
    

    If you want that the guest OS such as reported by the operating system itself (Windows), you can use the command of this guest operating systemthread.

    PS: the end tag didn't need a backslash. Simply place your code between two identical tags.

    I find that works best. Without the spaces, of course.

  • AppleScript which rotates all clipping paths in InDesign CS3

    At the following link, there is an Applescript script to light all clipping paths and another script to turn everything off. The script to turn off works great.

    http://forums.Adobe.com/message/1106200#1106200

    I get an error when you try to run the script to enable clipping paths.

    Adobe InDesign CS3 has been an error: invalid value for set property 'type of cutting. Planned none / detect the edges/alpha channel/photoshop path/user path of change, but has received (= > ("clippingpath", (cutting type = > traced photoshop, applied path name = > "Path 1"))).

    Running InDesign CS3 version 5.0.4

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    The forum ate my post. I would try again.

    You cannot use 'all', you must use the name that was used when the path was made. You can find the names by getting "the photoshop clipping paths" of an image.

    It works very well here:

    Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"

    Tell document 1

    all graphs the value allPics

    Repeat with i from 1 to number of allPics

    define paths to the names of path of photoshop clipping point of allPics i

    If (count elements of paths) > 0 then

    {set the Properties of the point i of allPics to {(traced clipping:{{class=fontblue}}applied the name of path:(point 1, path), type of cutting:traced photoshop}}

    I allPics Properties of the traced clipping point

    end if

    end repeat

    tell the end
