• Import Illustrator file with several layers and sublayers as composition by keeping all layers and sous-calques

  I drew a map of the country with several layers and sous-calques, including the streets, cities, railroads...

  Now, I want to create a template for my colleagues in After Effects.

  To do this, I want to import the AI in After Effects, holding all sublayers and layers in compositions and subcompositions.

  When I do, I get the first two layers correctly, others just in a merged publication.

  What can I do to get all the layers of each as a layer in After Effects?

  Best regards, Raphael

  Illustrator imports only the first level of the layers. If you have groups or paths below you must release layer groups. The layers will then be stacked in the order in the form of layers. Then you need to move them to the top.

  The procedure is to select a layer in the layer Illustrator Panel, then without selecting any which specific element in the layer click on the menu in the upper right corner and select release to layers. All an elements in this layer will be transformed into layers. Now, select all, and drag them to the top above the original layer. This will leave the empty original layer and put all the elements in new layers.

  Here is a tutorial I made there are a bunch of years and who uses this technique to transform a mixture in a morphing.

• Select several layers and harmonizing via a script

  

  I have the following configuration layer and here is what I want to do via a script

  (1) select Layer 1 and layer 0

  (2) align the 0 to the left of the canvas layer

  (3) select Layer 1 copy of layer 0 and

  (4) align the layer 0 copy to the right of the canvas

  Is it still possible via the script? Changing the size of the documents

  If you look at the script that I posted it doesn't select it all, and the two alignment measures to align the active layer.  All the alignment of four Charter id are included in the code. all you need to do is target the layer that you want to align. It should look like this

  var savedActiveLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;  Save the current layer of adtive

  app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll ();                          Select all

  Left ('AdLf'); Right ('AdRg'); Top ('AdTp'); Bottom ('AdBt'); Center Horizontal ('AdCH'); Center Vertical ('AdCV');

  Add code to the target 0 layer / / activeDocument.activeLayer = layers 0

  align ("AdLf");                                                                    Align to selection on the left side

  Add code to the target layer 0 copy / / activeDocument.activeLayer = copy of layers 0

  align ("AdRg");                                                                  Align to selection on the right side

  app.activeDocument.selection.deselect ();                           Deselect the option

• Need help to write a script that opens files, removes layers and sous-calques

  Hey all,.

  I'm a noob to the community of script, and what I try to do is file edit commands that share the same names of layers and sublayers. I have a few questions that would be incredibly useful if I could have answered.

  I'm not sure how to define a script too call out of the layers that have been created without script. I need to create a variable for the existing layers and leave the script to know what their names are in the files?

  For example, I have three files which have each layer named 'cutlayer', 'trimlayer', 'fold' and 'work '. I need to write a script that opens three files, deletes the layer 'fold' of each file, and then move the layer "trimlayer" in his own sublayer in 'work' (the base layer can be on the top so reorganization sublayers is not necessary to worry about something). I do not understand how to write the script because I couldn't find examples in the documentation for the script provided on the adobe website which has worked with existing files.

  It's my shot at what I'm trying to do, with English fill in the blanks of what I do not know how to script. If anyone can help me understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

  app.documents.openDlg (prompt, filter, MultiSelect);  the user opens the associated files

  If (documents.length > 0) //run the script through each document individually

  {

  sourceDoc = activeDocument;

  delete the "fold" sourceDoc layer

  move the "trimlayer" in the layer "work."

  remove the underlayment 'path' of layer "work."

  Run the script through each document

  Save the new file name folder in the new parallel to the current folder on the hard disk

  Go out and spend in each document until there is no more

  }

  create new document

  Place documents published in different layers in the new document, with a distance between them, optimize the space on a 51 "x 51" work plan, using as little of the artboard as possible. "

  All comments are things basically, I do not know how and am trying to figure out how to do, so if anyone has a second to explain some of these things, I would really appreciate it!

  Thanks again!

  I know it of very frustrating when his apprenticeship and things don't go as planned, but understand that it is quite confusing as it is and do not add more confusion to the mix by using other tools than those provided. I mean JSLint, it might be useful with GENERAL javascript syntax, but Adobe's Javascript implementation is another animal, or another language, always JavaScript, but intended to be run by its own engine. JSLint has no idea what "layers", or "pathItems" are, it will trigger errors when he sees the objects, it does not recognize.

• Select several Kings and set the properties for each of them

  Hi all

  I am currently working on a project on the thermal camera images. What I have to do is to define multiple regions of interest and assign specific properties such as temperature and emissivity of these Kings.

  So I was wondering:

  1 that is, possible to select several kings with a table keeping up-to-date of the Kings, the user has chosen on the front? (Or each KING might have a cluster on the front panel that contains its properties, which can be changed later.)

  2. is that possible to set specific properties such as temperature in the specfic KING, these properties and will be updated for the return on investment?

  Thank you so much and looking forward to some good ideas or tips.

  See you soon,.

  Version

  Hi all

  The attachment is what I've done now. However, instead create a .txt file to display information, it would be perfect to display the name of the KING and its properties in Control Panel before, as in the first column is 1 KING, KING 2, 3 return on investment, etc, and the other columns will be responsible for some information on the return on specific investment and its properties... Because I couldn't find something similar here, I really need your help.

  Thank you

• Select several selectors and change their

  This may be hard to explain but I've seen a tutorial (doesn't seem to find more I forgot who it was!) where the guy was in selecting as < li > 5 elements at the same time and adding a href by typing it once only or by switching a totally cool per tag, but he could also choose several selectors and edit them without selecting the text inside this selector. As he had 4 paragraphs of text and he wanted to add a class to them all and it somehow all the selected and added all at once. I dreamed right on this in the hope of such a characteristic, if not direct please!

• The user select several shapes and assign the variable

  Hello

  I worked mainly Storyline articulate and now I'm back in Captivate 8 I really miss simplicity of the scenario

  I need to create a very simple interaction "select all the boxes." I want the text in boxes and the user to select as much as they wish (there are 10 in total) and that selected they should change their 'down' State, so it is obvious that they have enabled the box on and then a variable is assigned to show later in the course.

  I told the Action for the award of variable when the user clicks on but just slide forward and I can't select several options. Also, there is a pause on the button continue for the slide does not move on to the next.

  Can someone tell me how I can do this SIMPLE interaction quickly?

  A simple action will always be out of reading, replace it with a standard advanced action (can be a single line, but I think you will need more than one).

  Why choose Standard Simple action? -Captivate Blog

  It also has a link to a YouTube video.

  Keep with scenario then... for me it's very simple, but that's just me.

  What should be stored in the variable? The number of texts chosen? Or do you want a text variable and change this variable from 0 to 1 if the corresponding text is selected?

  Why not use the interaction of checkboxes? It's pretty simple to use, it will store the answers selected in the variables.

• Magic Wand tool selects several items and won't let me not deselect everything I don't want

  I was with the SHIFT key to select multiple items, and all of a sudden Photoshop cc is not let me clear ALL.

  I don't even have to press the SHIFT key now selects automatically no matter what I click.

  The items that are currently selected are not the same colors so I know that this isn't just misunderstanding on these items as I want.

  Is it possible that I accidentally changed something where it is set to nothing I click on select automatically?

  Why now when I try to disable whatever it is, is not it? I can click on a specific item, select it, then click the exact the same task and it will not deselect.

  Help, please! A bit new, but I was easily using the magic wand to select the text and fill with "content-aware" but now even when I fill, he left this section and then selected me will not deselect this period.

• Select several files and store in table: folder object type turns into a string?

  Hello

  I'm trying to implement the following:

  The user selects a folder (which contains subfolders) in a dialog box:

  Set Dateiauswahl = CreateObject. BrowseForFolder (0, "Verzeichnis Park", 512, mess_path)

  Folder value = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject"). GetFolder (Dateiauswahl.Self.Path)

  All subfolders of the selected folders are listed in two variables with the overall picture:

  Call GlobalDim ("FolderList (" & Ordner.SubFolders.Count - 1 & "" ")" ")

  Call GlobalDim ("FolderPaths (" & Ordner.SubFolders.Count - 1 & "" ")" ")

  f = 0
  for each Unterordner in Ordner.SubFolders
  FolderList (f) = Unterordner.Name
  FolderPaths (f) = Unterordner
  f = f + 1

  next

  Only later the files of some of the subfolders should be stored in another file list table:

  f = 0
  for q = 0 to UBound (selection)
  Unterordner = FolderPaths (selection (q))
  Call MsgBox (Unterordner)
  For each file in Unterordner.Files
  If instr (1, File.Name, "Speed") = 0 then
  FileList (f) = File.Path
  f = f + 1
  end if
  Next

  next

  Now I seem to have a problem with the type data stored in the FolderPaths table. While Unterordner is a Folder object and must be a Folder object for each file in Unterordner.Files to work, store in the array it transformed into a string variable.

  I don't really understand why and am looking for a solution so that I can extract single table FolderPaths subfolders and then extract the files.

  Hi maliya,.

  To assign an object to an array element (or any other variable), you must use the Set syntax, like this:

  Set FolderPaths (f) = Unterordner

  Then later you can retrieve it with the same syntax:

  Set Unterordner = FolderPaths (selection (q))

• Use the listbox control to select several channels and display on the chart

  Hello everyone!

  I have a problem using the ListBox selection mode 1 or mode items. I have 6 channels of data, and I have a 2D chart. I am able to reterieve the signal names in the list box, but I want to be able to choose one or more signals to display on the chart. I used the table to index my 2D data are connected and then the output of the index table is connected to the graph. I had to use the listbox control as an index for the table to index and display the data in the index selected for display on the chart. I used lisbox as the value property nodes, the line active and all but not able to display signals on the graph. I have attached a code example to show you what exactly I'm looking.

• Why can't copy several layers and groups in a new PSD file?

  I created a bunch of new files PSD w / they must be the pixel dimensions. But I can't copy over 1 layer in these new files in a source file (w / all of my work). Why is this? Does anyone know?

  Go to Image > Mode for each file type and check that they are both RGB, or the two etc. CMYK. An adjustment layer, such as a curve or a Hue/Saturation, which is setting red, green, and blue pixel in an RGB document, cannot be moved in a CMYK document (or grayscale, etc.) because the color channels, that layer is adjusted are not there. This means that your new PSD files should be replaced by the same color mode as the documents you want to duplicate adjustment layers of.

• Adobe Stock: how to select several images, and then go to visit once to complete my purchase?

  Hi, my question is on Adobe Stock. I have around 5-6 images I want to acquire from Adobe. I have them stored in the library. I want to buy with 50% reduction of single image. However, I discovered that I can't select some images at a time and put them in my cart. I can only check a single image and it go directly to the outside to check for billing. So my question is how do I check all the images I want to buy and go at once to complete, instead of doing all over again for 5 different billing transactions. Please help, thanks in advance.

  Hi Fillingf,

  You are trying to get the images with the single image plane, it will allow you to authorize a single image at a time.

  So for the first time(first image), it will ask you the payment information. Next image, it will automatically process the order with previous payment information.

  In addition, you can get a comprehensive plan like 10 pictures per month or 750 images a month, you will be charged for the subscription and the licenses will be added for you can use to acquire the images.

  I hope this helps.

• When you select a layer withou selecting tab layers

  Hello

  How could I, when there is a lot of layers, I want to select one of them just by clicking on it and without looking for her and the selection on the tab layers.

  I mean, there is a work in progress with several layers and you are moving from one layer to another, moving (V), edit (Ctrl + T).

  I don't want to get each layer on the right tab and select it. I just want to click on the thing I want to change (in the image of the not tab) and it be editable.

  
  How I do that?

  Thx a lot for all the world!

  PS. more detailed technical so characteristic pls are needed, tell me. I think that I was not so clear...

  When the move tool is activated press the Cmd or Ctrl, then click on the part of the image you want to adjust. It will target the layer.

  The key temporarily activates the option indicated by mail davescm.

  It's the way I work.  Select Auto is a huge PITA most of the time.  Be sure to put it to the group or layer in the options bar.  The default value is group.
