Scripts using layers.

Please can someone help me? I have a file with text objects illustrator (no shots) text objects are numbers 1 to about 300, there is 2 * n ° 1, 2 * n ° 2, 2 * n ° 3 and so on. It is used for the corresponding numbered components up signs numbered for 3D papercraft.

the script that I need help is to sort the numbers (which are all in 1 layer in a random order) in ascending numerical order.

It is in order to select the numbers, say 1 to 50 (up to 100 items in total) and then add the (red) fill color, and then select 51-100 and choose the fill (blue) color and so on, to make the shutters numbered and the panels easier your search.

I know that it is possible by manually selecting, it takes too much time.

Please can someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

until this sound that looks like this, with users who have created the scripts I found on this site.

IDoc var = app.activeDocument;

ilayer var = idoc.activeLayer;

for (i = 0; i < ilayer.layers.length; i ++) {}

var layer = ilayer.layers [i];

Layer.Name = layer.pageItems [0] .name | layer.pageItems [0] .silence;

}

It renames the layers with the name of the object

great!

then I run it

#target 'Illustrator '.

/**

* sort layers (with base layer)

*/

var doc = app.documents [0];

lay var = doc.layers;

var array_primary = [];

for (var i = 0, it = lay.length; i < it; i ++) {}

If (. layers.length lay [i] = 0) {}

array_primary.push (lay [i] .name);

}

else {}

array_primary.push (lay [i] .name);

var array_secondary = [];

for (var j = 0, jL = lay [i].layers.length; j < jL; j ++) {}

array_secondary.push (Lay [i]. Layers [j]. (Name)

};

Result2 var = array_secondary.sort (function (a, b) {return a > b});

sublayers of sorting

sort_layer ([i] lay, result2);

}

};

Result1 var = array_primary.sort (function (a, b) {return a > b});

sort layers

sort_layer (doc, result1);

function sort_layer (obj, array) {}

for (var IR = 0, riL = array.length; ri, riL; ri ++) {}

obj.layers.getByName(array[ri]).zOrder (ZOrderMethod.SENDTOBACK);

};

}

and that puts them in the right order

now I have to select them in the layers panel, I thought I could just press SHIFT while clicking on, it is only by selecting the layer and not the subject, so I can't change the color of the object it is not selected.

is there a way to get around this?

I thought of editing this file (below) who works for the filling of the colors with a color of the random sample, I want to change the part of the selection of the script to incorporate to choose layers sequential groups of 10 or 20 and then fill it with a color (don't care what color)

If anyone can help.

Edit: ok I have had this part now, collect in the new layer

Thank you

  • Cannot use the Val function in a script use

    I'm trying to convert a text string (binary number) in a number by using the Val function in a script of use but the colors of tiara the term Val in red and the script produces an error indicating "Variable is undefined:"Val"

    Why is that happen? Some functions are not allowed in use scripts?

    In addition, it seems impossible to use debugging in my use - if I try to add a variable to the Watch window, there never have any value even if I put a breakpoint on this line of code. Would it not possible to debug scripts use?

    David,

    regarding your question on "Val" I would like to direct you to the "File.Formatter.ParseString" function which is part of the API available at DataPlugins.

    CDbl and CLng do a good job in general, but they are dependent on the local configuration of the PC. 'ParseString' is so much more reliable.

  • Run Calc Script using MaxL server location

    Hello!!

    I wonder if anyone has tried running Calc script stored on the server (not in the app folder) using MaxL?

    My research on run calculation led to run scripts associated to a particular application, but not on executing a script from a common repository such as the location of the server between multiple applications.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It is sometimes useful, in my case, I had a unique scenario where I had 10 cubes

    Cube 1 essbase process information and then send to the DATA STORE, which then runs a set of calc (some detailed data movement)

    Cube 2 then consumes these data and processes to Cube 10.

    All scripts used in Essbase is the same. However, we had to keep all applications and maintenance was a nightmare. This RUNCALC scenario helps a lot.

    I had to create a dummy app/db to store all Calc and maintenance will be done on this one and a bat script will move those to the respective cubes. I can identify at the request

  • What is the Action Script (using AS2) code when you loop once a scene and then re-read and intervention

    What is the Action Script (using AS2) code when you loop once a scene and then re-read and slaughter on a certain slice?

    Basically, you need keep a count and use it as your stop control.  In the first image, it takes something to assign the value, but you do not want to assign an initial value, so you could use...

    var County;

    if(Count == undefined) {}
    Count = 0;
    } else {}
    Count ++;
    }

    Then in the frame where you want to stop after that a loop is completed you can have...

    if(Count == 1) {}

    Stop();

    }

  • How to operate only a calc script using ODI

    Hi John,.

    I would like to run only a calc script using ODi. Could if it you please let me know the process. Is it mentioned in your blog anywhere?

    Awaiting your response

    Thanks in advance
    Sravan

    The km - 'IKM SQL for Hyperion Essbase (DATA)' there is an option 'RUN_CALC_SCRIPT_ONLY', set to Yes and then enter the name of the calc script in "CALCULATION SCRIPT".
    It will take still a source and a target in the interface for it to run, but it will ignore the source and the target and just run the calc script, it is possible to customize the KM so it didn't need a source/target, but you should be fine with the method I proposed.

    See you soon

  • How to run a script using the OMB tcl

    I'm trying to run a tcl script using the following syntax in cmd

    D:\app\Username\product\11.1.0\db_2\owb\bin\win32 > ombplus.bat c:\t.tcl

    and I get the error

    OMB01001: Not connected to the repository.

    The tcl script was basically accompanied by a tutorial and I can't continue the OWB tutorial, unless I run it first

    Departure ombplus.bat

    You can then start the script with the source command such as

    source C:/t.tcl
    

    Be careful with the backslash (he is not C:\t.tcl)

    You must also add a connection before your script to OWB with the OMBCONNECT

    OMBCONNECT $UserLogin/$UserPassword@$DBHostName:$DBHostPort:$ServiceName USE REPOSITORY '$RepositoryUser' USE MULTIPLE_USER_MODE
    

    Replace the parameters $ with your own value.

    And then your script, you can disconnect:

    OMBDISCONNECT
    

    Success

  • parallelized script using beaches error?

    Hi all

    I have a script that runs that I parallelized who accepts the beaches of another table [PROCESS_CONTROL]. I get the message in my logs below and I'm not sure exaclty what he tells me. Any ideas?

    superkav.

    Elapsed time: 00:00:00.18
    5 old: C_OCTASK_TRANSFERHISTO, I_OCTASK_TRANSFERHISTO from TOCTASKTRANSFERHISTORY WHERE I BETWEEN (SELECT RANGE_LO FROM PROCESS_CONTROL WHERE ID_processus = "1" and THREAD_NBR = & 2 ") and (SELECT RANGE_HI FROM PROCESS_CONTROL WHERE ID_processus ="1 "and THREAD_NBR = & 2);

    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

    Your script uses The Variables of Substitution. 'old' and 'new' lines show text before and after substitution.
    See the example:

    SQL> define tab=dual
    SQL> select * from &tab;
    old   1: select * from &tab
    new   1: select * from dual
    
    D
    -
    X
    

    The only difference is that params & 1, & 2 are not defined explicitly, but passed to the script in the command line. The script works fine, there is no error during execution (at least in the fragment of the newspaper you provided).
    Kind regards

  • Adapt the JSFL Scripts useful for animating/canvas

    As a programmer who likes to automate many I have used/made a lot for Flash jsfl scripts in the past.

    Some new users do not know that these scripts can be easily adapted for Javascript/canvas.

    For example:

    With a selected calendar, try this:

    /*

    * [KC] Add stop frames

    * By Kevin Cao (http://kevincao.com)

    * 2005.6.19

    */

    Insert keyframes with a shutdown command in each image selection

    var dom = fl.getDocumentDOM)

    var timeline = dom.getTimeline)

    var selection = timeline.getSelectedFrames)

    var numSelections = selections.length

    for (s = 0; s < numSelections; s += 3)

    {

    cLayer = selections [s]

    startFrame = selections [s + 1]

    endFrame = selections [s + 2]

    timeline.setSelectedFrames([cLayer,startFrame,endFrame],true);

    timeline.convertToKeyframes ();

    for (f = startFrame; f < endFrame; ++ f)

    {

    Timeline.Layers [cLayer] .frames [f]. ActionScript = "this.stop ();";

    }

    }

    JSFL doesn't care if you use actionScript 'real '.

    Thought that may be useful.

  • Script text layers

    Hey ho,

    Basically what I'm hoping to do is proof a document of the fool.

    I have a template saved, which opens, as published in the need - it's text layers, I'm more concerned about here.

    The other guys in the laboratory of evil to use windows so much Photoshop, so I'm hoping to write a script that can change the text inside of a several layers of existing text, then save an action to open a script and put actions button mode - do not confuse the cavemen.

    I hope to have a pop up entry field, and entries must change the text within the specified layers. Nothing in the text should change (font, Style, color etc...). I think that altogether there are 8 layers, in which the text should be changed from the opening.

    any input would be much appreciated guys,

    see you soon

    In this example, text layers are identified by a name ad must be at the top level.

    // 2014, use it at your own risk;

    dlg.center();
    var myReturn = dlg.show ();
