• How, in Illustrator CS5, select all objects with the three points (or nodes)?

  I'm fairly new to Illustrator, but it seems like it should be simple.  (It's trivial in CorelDraw X 4: after selecting an object with three knots, I go to Edition > search and replace > find objects > find objects that correspond to the currently selected object and navigate the menus left.)

  In Illustrator CS5, select options > identical do not seem to include the selection of all objects with the same number of nodes under the currently selected object.

  A double click on the magic wand tool also does not provide such an option.

  Thanks for any help.

  PS also useful would be knowing how to add other criteria to this search, for example, how to select all objects with three points * and * the current fill color.

  advictoriam,

  I'm afraid that you have better luck with the number of anchor Point.

• Select all objects in the active work plan

  Hello

  I want to select all objects in terms of active work using javascript

  someone help me please with script

  Thank you

  APPU

  JavaScript is case-sensitive, activedocument is not the same thing as activeDocument

  change

  var doc = app.activedocument;
  

  TO

  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  

  You can't use the methods themselves, must qualify the first object

  change

  selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();
  

  TO

  doc.selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();
  

  You should start by reading The Intro from Adobe to the script and practice according to the samples presented, then continue with Illustrator Scripting Guide and the Reference of Scripting in Illustrator

• Select all objects with the same style of object?

  I did some research but empty is come. It is possible to select all the objects on a page that have the same style of applied object?

  What I want to do, is apply an action 'frame content' to a large group of text boxes (labels on a map). But this mounting option doesn't seem to be available as part of the style of the object.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  Try using the option Auto-size text block rather in the style of the object. This feature (found in the object > text frame Options) is useful to the legends of autosize following certain rules.

  This attribute can be used in object styles.

• How to select all objects in a document?

  Newbie question WAS:

  I have an active document with two linked files, I need to select both of them in a script and incorporate the two.  Then I'll be in selecting these separate and perform various actions on each.

  In JavaScript, once I have the document object how can I select these two files/items?

  Thank you

  Dave

  This will select all the document and incorporate your files related to assets:

  * a slight change *.

  for (I = app.activeDocument.placedItems.length - 1; i > = 0; i--) {}
  app.activeDocument.placedItems [i] .selected = true;
  app.activeDocument.placedItems [i] .embed ();
  }

  see you soon;

• How to replace a color in any plan of work in illustrator by using Javascript (without selecting all objects)

  

  A common way is to loop through every element in the document and change its values of the background color or contour, or in the case of text, attributes of character for the fill and the outline of the text characters. This can take some time if you have many objects. In addition, if you have the color applied via the graphic styles or appearances, they are not detectable via javascript. But if you had your spot colors, you can change the values of these tasks of swatch and color will be updated in all aspects of the document, including the graphic styles, brushes, etc..

  Here is an example of editing a fill for a TextBox inside a CMYK document:

  #target illustrator
  function test(){
      // must have cmyk document with one text frame (which contains at least one character) and one path for this test.
  
      // a simple function to assign the cmyk values to a cmyk color
      function editCMYKValues(affectedColorObject, c, m, y, k){
          affectedColorObject.cyan = c;
          affectedColorObject.magenta = m;
          affectedColorObject.yellow = y;
          affectedColorObject.black = k;
      };
  
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
      var t = doc.textFrames[0];
      var myTexFill = t.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor;
  
      editCMYKValues(myTexFill, 100, 100, 25, 25);
  
      var p = doc.pathItems[0];
      editCMYKValues(p.fillColor, 25, 100, 100, 25);
  
  }
  test();
  

• Is it possible to know if transparency (multiply / darken etc.) has been used in any part of the file select all objects?

  I recently had problems with Illustrator files with objects and text.

  These elements consist of spot colors and have effects, such as multiply, obscure or Luminisity applied to them.

  Our current workflow requires us to save the only 1 file .ai to PDF which must pass through a TEAR, then accelerated for printing by other software.

  Version staircase to the top of the file is sent to me, opened and edited in Illustrator and then re-recorded in PDF format to send to a print finisher (varnish or sheet, for example)

  It is at this point that some items were not displayed correctly or at all.

  I know that sounds complicated process (and is!)... but is it possible to work around this issue?

  Thank you

• Select all objects of a type using their size? (CS3)

  Hello!

  I hope you can help me and know the functions in Illustrator that I do not have .

  I'm in some trouble. The problem is that I have to work with this file, I can't ask for another.

  I have a fairly large-file dwg (it's an export of a digital map) with very many obstacles that are NOT classified (choose a category would be easy ).

  Thanks to this conversion of the card, it occurred at the end of each line there is a circle. I think that it is the result of a characteristic of the magnetic line in the geographic information system.

  Now, I need to eliminate all these circles (maybe hundreds of them).

  Is there a feature provided by Illustrator CS3 where you can get all the obstacles that are the same size?

  Each obstacle is in a clean diaper - but the layers with the circles are not yet named the same.

  I look forward to any type of troubleshooting - I am completely at a loss here.

  To illustrate the problem, I've attached a screenshot of an extract from the file - you can see all the circles sizes equal to the sides of the lines.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Best regards

• Select all the objects with 2pt STROKE?

  It is possible to select all objects with a particular characteristic, such as a specific line width? I know I can do this by selecting an object, and then choose Select all. But I want to include as part of a batch action, so I need to be able to specify the choice so that it can be completely automated. If I have to choose one of the objects for each file, it defeats the purpose of the action of batch processing.

  If this is not possible, I should ask in the forum script to help a script?

  NW

  With nothing selected, the value of the weight of the 2pt race. Now select > same > weight of the race.

  Set the weight of the race is registrable and if nothing is selected, then select it > same commands using what is defined in the panels.

• Selection of object names?

  Has anyone ever select objects by their group name?

  I work with imported graphics, and objects appear in the layer hierarchy HAVE grouped and named according to their object types in the program of First Nations (see attached image). The problem lies in the annotation objects: they are made of different parts for different graphic styles are needed; However, they all come in a single layer and difficult to access for global operations. I need to do different things with different object types (deletion of the POINT, move the LINE and LWPOLYLINE at different layers, etc...). The ability to select individual objects is ok for small sets of data, but you can imagine that it becomes untenable in a hurry.

  Two possible solutions, that I considered:

  (1) change the output parameters in the source program, such as the objects come into illustrator with different graphics allowing them to be accessed through the tools of ' Select same...» » ; It would work, but a problem for the source program

  (2) print the graphics of annotation with their graphical appearance desired pdf rather than import the source file directly in artificial intelligence, then open in artificial intelligence to render the remaining graphics; again, this works, but introduces the inefficiency of the process. In addition, the printing process tends to explode the closed paths requiring more inefficient way tinker in artificial intelligence.

  I want to say HAVE to select all objects named 'POINT' or 'LINE' etc. but can't find anything in the documentation or forums on the question of if possible. Has anyone experience this problem? Is there a solution HAVE?

  Thanks, I'll post this question in the section script as well.

  

  Actions interface includes a control that you can insert into any Action: select an object... This step of the Action can be used to select objects by the content of the text in the note field in the range of attributes (which is fine), but not by the name of the object in the palette layers (which is stupid). Who designs such things?

  Anyway...

  As the objects you want to select, and maniulate are already named when they are imported, it sounds like a simple solution could be just on each named pageItem Note. You can do it with just a few lines of Javascript:

  Start of script

  JET_X_SetNoteToName.jsx

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;

  var docObjects = docRef.pageItems;

  for (i = 0; i<>

  var currObj = docObjects [i];

  currObj.note = currObj.name;

  }

  End of script

  I just tested the script above on CS3, which is all that I have loaded on my laptop on Saturday morning. But it of about as simple as they come and work probably fine in later versions.

  1. Paste this text into a text editor. Save it as a text file named JET_X_SetNoteToName.jsx. Don't forget to include the extension ".jsx.
  2. Open a copy of one of your files.
  3. Open the palette attributes and the layers palette so that you can watch them.
  4. File > Scripts > other Scripts... Navigate to the script file and open it.
  5. Select one of the points of interest. Check that his name (in the layers palette) now appears also in his Note field (in the attributes palette).
  6. Flyout palette menu actions: new Action... Name "Select POINTs".
  7. Flyout palette menu actions: select objects... In the dialog box, type "POINT".
  8. Perform the Action. Objects called 'Point' should be selected.

  Create similar Actions for the LINE and LWPOLYLINE.

  Now you can develop Actions by adding steps to perform all operations you want to happen to them after SelectObjects stage. (Remove POINTs, changing STROKE weight and the color of the lines, etc. etc.)

  If the things you want to do the POINTs, lines and LWPOLYLINEs are always the same for each file, create of the graphic Styles to hold desired appearances (strokes, fills, etc) and name the graphic Styles accordingly. Then include in action to apply the appropriate graphic Styles. You can record your Actions and Graphic Styles for use in other documents or include them in a template file.

  So assuming that it is a recurrent need, you can kind of build yourself a "kit" project-specific solution by combining several features semi Automation: Scripting, Actions, Styles, graphics, models.

• selection of objects in illustrator

  I do some very specific changes to a batch of images and not to find the best way to speed up the process.

  Here is my method:

  Place an image in illustrator, use the vectorization (6 colors) and expand.

  Now I want to select only the objects in a particular area, which is a triangle, invert the selection, and delete everything outside the shape.

  I found a way to reduce the images with my triangle by adding the selection to the live paint function before expanding.

  I am importing these objects in a CAD program, so it's important that I have actually to delete the rest of the objects, instead of just them, masking because they are always there when I import to my CAD program.

  In addition to individually by selecting and by removing the objects that I don't need, is there a way to instantly choose?

  Is there a way to select all the objects in my triangle shape, or select all objects in a form?  You select the same fill color, etc. will not work because the work inside and outside of my triangle are the same colors.

  I also tried first cropping the image to my triangle shape personalized with photoshop before importing it in illustrator, but I can't seem to find a way to do it without producing unwanted results.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Vectorization and exapnd. Place the triangle on the top of the trace function that covers what you want to keep.

  Select all, Pathfinder > Crop. This will remove all outside the object (triangle).

• (CS3; JavaScript) how effectively "select all" / performing an action

  Hi all

  while I found little code to run applescript action I need to be able to do from JavaScript. The documentation does not mention at all of the shares.

  It would save me a lot of work if I could just perform an action that changes the color of the document to CMYK instead of having to duplicate all objects in a new document (I have already created the action and it works)

  This brings me to my other question: are there really no "select all"? It takes almost 2 seconds (at least if the Profiler is right) just to select a simple 300 objects in my test file. I need to batch process something like 30 records that could prove more complex and I don't like the idea to say to my colleagues that they should wait for so long...

  Is there a better way that a loop through pageItems and setting .selected = true?

  I could imagine performs an action that selects all objects (how to copy actions to others machines. btw?) or to run the shortcut (Ctrl + a).

  Thank you very much

  Mike

  Good evening

  Void test_ai()

  Set myAi = CreateObject ("illustrator.application.CS4")
  Set myDocAi = myAi.ActiveDocument

  ' - An idea is to show, as a first step, the layers on which you want to select all objects.

  myDocAi.Layers ("myLayerWithObjects"). Visible = True
  myDocAi.ActiveLayer.Locked = False

  myDocAi.Layers ("mySecondLayerWithObjects"). Visible = True
  myDocAi.ActiveLayer.Locked = False

  ' - In a second step, you select all

  For each myLayers in myDocAi.Layers
  If myLayers.Visible = True Then myLayers.HasSelectedArtwork = True
  Next

  ' - and finally, you define a variable with your selection

  myselexion = myAi.Selection

  End Sub

  After that, you will probably identify each item of your choice.

• Is there a way to select all text objects containing the specified character?

  Is there a way to select all text objects containing the specified character?

  For example,.

  My work consists of points and numbers.

  Points are separated into blocks of text, so are numbers.

  I want to select all points, so I group.

  Or numbers and group together them.

  

  Yes,

  -loop through all the elements of text

  -get each content

  -compare to '. '.

  -If the matching, save a reference to that block of text

  -When does with all frames

  -loop through all stored references and move to a group

• How to give the right to select for all objects of schema?

  Hello
  
  We have a lot of users and schemas.
  A user wants to execute 'select' for all tables in the other schema.
  
  For example: TEST user wishes to select the objects to TEST2. Test2 have hundreds of tables, TEST user cannot select other schema objects, so I don't want to give SELECT ANY TABLE privileges.
  
  How can do this at once? is it possible to give all the objects schema once subsidies?
  DB versin. 9.2.0.8
  
  greetings and thanks

  No, there are no subsidies. You must use hundreds of statements of grant.

  However, you can use dynamic SQL to do this automatically, i.e.

  CREATE ROLE test2_select;
  
  BEGIN
    FOR x IN (SELECT * FROM dba_tables WHERE owner='TEST2')
    LOOP
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT SELECT ON test2.' || x.table_name || ' TO test2_select';
    END LOOP;
  END:
  /
  
  GRANT test2_select TO test;

• How to select all the text with QNX TextInput

  With QNX TextInput, is there a way to select all the text? Spark TextInput a selectAll() method to select all text, but I do not see a similar method in QNX TextInput. No idea how you can choose all the texts with QNX TextInput. Thank you.

  Hey French,.

  Thanks for the clarification! I think I can help you. Here is a code example to show my explanation. In the code below when a user clicks the LabelButton object it will assign the focus to your TextInput object and then select all the text in this object. The only downside is that it will not bring the keyboard. so far, we are not successfully by invoking the keyboard without the user clicking on the TextInput. in any case in the code below, we use TextInput property the textField object as a reference to the TextField object internal. from there, we use the setSelection() method to select the text inside the object from the start to the end position pos. Here's the same code:

  package
  {
      import flash.display.Sprite;
      import flash.display.StageAlign;
      import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
      import flash.events.FocusEvent;
      import flash.events.MouseEvent;
  
      import qnx.ui.buttons.LabelButton;
      import qnx.ui.text.TextInput;
  
      [SWF(width="1024",height="600",backgroundColor="#CCCCCC",frameRate="30")]
      public class TextInputTest extends Sprite
      {
  
          private var myInput:TextInput;
  
          public function TextInputTest()
          {
              super();
  
              // support autoOrients
              stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
              stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
  
              myInput = new TextInput();
              myInput.setSize(300,50);
  
              addChild(myInput);          
  
              var newBtn:LabelButton = new LabelButton();
              newBtn.label = "Click Me";
              newBtn.setPosition(325, 0);
  
              newBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, selectMyText);
  
              addChild(newBtn);
  
          }
          private function selectMyText(e:MouseEvent):void
          {
              stage.focus = myInput;
              myInput.textField.setSelection(0, myInput.textField.length);
          }
      }
  }
  

  hope it's what you want. Good luck!
