  Is there a tool or function (in Illustrator or InDesign) that selects any form and 'punches' a 'hole' of this form down through several objects for the paper or the work plan?

  Your objects punch must be in a large group; It will cut through all that is below.

  Create the shape you want to cut and set it to black Uni. Select your group and your form and (in the transparency palette), click make mask.

  Uncheck the Clip, and then return to the palette.

• Why do my work order plan getting all messed up when I try to add new work plans?

  Mac, HAVE CC

  If I create an icon for fine UX library. I have, say, 20 icons on 20 separate work plans. I have the following configuration: 4 lines and 5 columns. Create mu icons, name each work plan to export properly, and all is well.

  But when I come back to this document and try to add work plans, they add no way to 5 x 4.

  Very strangely, they are added in random places.

  Then I try again to "Reorganize the work plans", and they are willing, but once again, in a random order. My names are so disconnected from the previous relevant work plans.

  It's so frustrating. Is there something I'm missing, if it please or do not know, to add better control?

  Thank you very much!!!

  I think everyone goes through a similar confusion with work plans, but once to slow down and realize some items, they begin to work as

  1. Look at your work plan and that one is highlighted it's the artboard select
     
  2. You can easily unwittingly switch to another plan of work, by simply selecting another time with the selection tool. "Here, I've selected an item on the 4th game of darts and now the ' Live from the corners" artbaord is selected.
     
  3. When you use the new work plan command that adds a new after the selected work plan, some people waiting to be added as the last page.
  4. There are some bugs like when you run out of space on the right. I have the last elected artboard, but try to add a new work plan gives me an error because the top row is out of room who shovel have nothing to do with it.
     

  In summary

  • Name your work plans that you can easily get confused, that it is worth
  • Use reorganize artbaords often
  • Reorganize work plans does not care the physical position on the screen of the work plan, it transposes numbers (1 to 11 in my example above)
  • If you want to copy of artboard on the artboard 2 1. Copy the artboard 1 form, select any element of the artbord 2 and use the paste in front or to the rear. You can also use the work plans Panel to select your target artbaord.

• Loop and remove the work plans

  Need help.  Try to loop through work plans and delete if isn't a specific name.  When you try to delete, it gives me an illegal argument.  I must be missing something.  Help would be appreciated.

  IDoc var = app.activeDocument;

  var idoc.artboards = artbs;

  var artbcount = artbs.length;

  var artbsNames = [];

  for (var i = 0; i < artbcount; i ++) {}

  artbsNames = artbs [i] .name;

  var artboardSelected = idoc.artboards [i];

  artboardSelected = artbsNames;

  If (artboardSelected == ['special work plan']) {}

  Alert ("this is not special");

  }

  else {}

  ARTBS. Remove();

  }

  }

  Hi jeremy0013

  Why so complicated? As Silly-V says: If you want to remove an item from your loop you loop back always.

  And a simple clause should be sufficient:

  var idoc = app.activeDocument;
  var artbs = idoc.artboards;
  for (var i = artbs.length-1 ; i >= 0; i--) {
      if (artbs[i].name != "Special Artboard") {
          artbs[i].remove();
      }
  }
  

  Does this work for you?

• Work plans: selection of the artboard and unlock automatic disabling shapes in the work plans - possible?

  Hello

  I easily through the General work plan, and I saw immediately, so I thought I'd put it out there. Here are my two questions:

  1. is there a way to disable the ability to move a work plan while working in it? Essentially, to block the plan in place, but not the items it contains? If you use the automatic selection and slightly approach the edge of the plateau, then swipes the entire Board rather than just a few layers / items you want.

  2 is there a way to auto unlock all layers, including forms? It can be really frustrating for fish through the layers to find the form locked in order to remove a work plan. Command + / has not worked for me when I closed a single object manually.

  Thank you very much! I hope that these are not repeated questions.

  1. Yes. Use 'Position Lock' on the layer of the artboard properly said.

  

  2. Yes. Select the parent group or the artboard. While holding down the alt/option key, choose "Lock all layers in artboard...» "in the drop-down menu Layers Palette.

  

  This should unlock all layers inside this group or the artboard.

  (Probably, the fact that the menu does not change when you hold down the alt key is a bug, but it does not)

• Scripting languages and numbering of work plans

  Hello fellow Scripting Guys,.

  First Question:

  I know the Java scripts and I remember supporting Basic but what other languages I can script in?  Can I have the largest part of the Java script then have parts in SQL?

  Second Question:

  I know how to do a script writing text to a layer and using the position (x, y) location, but if I have several Art cards? I need to do the following:

  Look for the number total of //Some art cards files have 2 other 3 and very few will be 4.

  Take the advice number, not name art and print it lower-left (1.1) from the bottom.

  I would need to run this batch on a folder that contains subfolders of subfolders.  They are all the .ai or .pdf files and there is about 2 k files.  I have about 2-3 months to do this, but I wanted to write the script now so that I can have it done, this way I can run on pieces of files at once.

  I've never done a batch script, and I've never had to write a script that changes between the boards of the art.  I need to know how to tell Illustrator to choose a Council of art, I can create the loop cycling through all the art advice and then I can say to save, but how can I say to get the next file in the folder and repetition?

  to print the text of each work plan, you can use the function below. I have just set a variable to the text to be printed, it can so easily be changed if need be.

  I hope it's useful.

  function printToArtboards(){
      var docRef = app.activeDocument;
      var artboards = docRef.artboards;
      var layers = docRef.layers;

• 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.

• Photoshop CC 2015: Guide separate models for different work plans?

  Hi all
  

  
  

  I've recently updated to CC2015 and I am trying to use the new functionality of the artboard. It looks great, but I did not find an answer to this question:

  
  

  Is it possible to create models of separate guide for the different work plans in one document?

  For example: I have a work plan for a presentation of Fund, one for the mobile layout in a single file . On the arrangement of office, I wish I had a guide of 12 columns layout, on the mobile artboard a 6-column layout guide. Is it possible to create these guides through "new guide layout... '. » ? When I tried, Photoshop took all work as one plans and created the guides on all of them...

  
  

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  
  

  See you soon...

  Hello

  This initial version of work plans in 2015 Ps includes only guides to the document level. We are actively working to address some of the issues you mention. We know that many people rely on guides, but also we wanted to not resisted publication of the plans of work for those who could use them as they are currently implemented. But guides improvements are very, very high on our backlog of work for work plans, so stay tuned!

• Error: Oracle error, you can't publish this work plan until you reschedule

  I am trying to publish the plan of work, but I get the error:
  
  Error: You cannot publish this work plan until you reschedule using a third party application.
  
  I don't know why, as I don't use third-party application for departure. FYI, I create the project using the project template.
  
  Thank you

  You should check your configurations on the project template.

  Query your model in PJT Super User > Workplan > work plan information > calendar using third party software

  Check that the installation. I think you will find that this is your problem. You can also access this information on the project through the tab work Plan and configurations. I hope this helps.

• Illustrator script to rename work plans according to the size of the artboard

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone has a script that they would like to share that would rename all work plans in a document with their size?

  Thank you

  
  Eric

  Hi ericsoup,

  It works for your work plan [0]

  var AB = app.activeDocument.artboards[0];
  var ABR = AB.artboardRect;
  AB.name = (ABR[2] - ABR[0]).toFixed(3) + " points  × " + (ABR[1] - ABR[3]).toFixed (3) + " points";
  

  All you have to do is to add a loop through your 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.

  #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();

• Automation of export with work plans

  Hello

  Our office has just upgraded to CS5 and some problems with the work plans that I hope someone can help solve.

  We used to have a set of actions that would reframe the work to a pre-defined size, and then export a TIF.  Then action would reframe to a different size and save it in PDF format.  These actions no longer work correctly because the feature of 'culture' is no more used.

  My understanding is that I need two work plans set up on the document (both set to their respective sizes.

  Export the TIF file, specify what work plan for use in the field of "range" of the dialog box.

  It is the same for the PDF file.  I can record the action fairly easily, but he won't play properly because the action does not remember the "range" option  It just comes up with the last selected (registered or not).

  Is it possible to have an action recorded in CS5 to accomplish this task?   I was fumbling with it for a few days now and I have yet to get it to work properly.

  It's a little frustrating because we literally thousands of existing graphics to process which cannot be exported by using the action we had already put in place more.  We are almost obliged to continue using CS3.

  The question was clear.

  Needs,

  The Action you were using in CS3 depended on the area of crops > Make command.

  In CS5, the object > plans > FitToSelectedArt is registrable in an action through the step to insert the Menu command in the menu Actions palette flyout. So, you can probably create an Action that makes you want in CS 5 using a combination of this and other recordable functions as paste, select next object above / below, etc..

  You should not need additional work plans to process files of simple-plan of pre-existing work. Simply use the FitToSelectedArt command to change the size of the work prior to each export plan.

  For example: you can draw rectangles of two (or more) and give them names. Copy them to the Clipboard. Your Action can:

  Paste in front.

  Select the first rectangle by its name.

  Resize the work plan to adapt it.

  Perform the export.

  Select the rectangle by its name.

  Resize the artboard.

  Perform the export.

  Etc, etc.

• move the selection to the new work plan

  Hi guys,.

  I'm new to Illustrator script but I have done some in InDesign.

  I want a script to move a selection to a new work plan and be able to name the work plan.

  I can't find something in the DOM as artboards.add ().

  Any help?

  Hi jakec88782761,

  are what version of picture you?

  Working with work plans is possible since CS4 +.

  Here's a simple example in [JS]

  var AB_1 = activeDocument.artboards.add([0,50,200,0]);
  AB_1.name = 'first quadrant';
  var AB_2 = activeDocument.artboards.add([-200,50,0,0]);

• Problems with the edition of work plans

  I did not have a good experience. I can't even change my plans of work, they get stuck off the coast to the right or left and I can't scroll right or left to get them to a place where I can zoom in on the map of the art of making changes. The screen of UI zooms only the Board of the art that is visible on the screen at the same time. Also when adding graphics to images or work plans I can't select them at all.

  You should be able to use two fingers on the touchpad to the panorama of the view in XD, similar to how you would scroll/pan in other applications on your Mac.  Please let us know if this doesn't work for you.
