What is a script exists to hide all effects on a layer?

Hey!

I work on a drawing or model app with 50 + work plans. There are hundreds of cases of shadow throughout the document. It's bogged down my system and makes everything in very slow illustrator - which makes for a very frustrating workflow.

In my dream world, there would be a script that was hiding all instances of an effect (in my case, the drop shadow). This would allow me to record quickly, copy/paste/move objects without a loading time of 2-3 minutes (or a complete crash!)

My system is up to par, and everything else is super quick in illustrator. I know not a work around would be to rasterize the shadow so that is not constantly reposting, but I need to be able to change it and rasterize it win this ability.

Any script out there?

Thanks a ton!

Nice that you found a solution. Should you 300 ppi for the icons?

I don't think that a script would help a lot too. It should go through all the objects one by one to find examples of shadow. Then who would take you a few minutes as well.

In your shoes, I would be rather experiment with graphic styles or layers. You can apply the shadow layer and put objects requiring a shadow on its own layer.

  • Scripts to show/hide all all buttons

    First of all, thanks to William Van Weelden and Peter Grainge for existing scripts ' show all / hide all.  Peter, I accessed them from your web site (Scripts for Twisties, show all / hide all buttons print and).  I was able to get two buttons of William script to work.  I wasn't able to get the script "button toolbar unique show / hide" to work.  Peter, your website says that the script works with HR 8 and 9.  I'm hoping to use it with HR 10; I tried without success.  What's someone to update this script for HR 10?  I would really like to be able to use that one in the toolbar.  I also experimented in vain to try to call WIlliam ShowHide and ShowAll functions since the Action tab of the custom toolbar window, accessed from the WebHelp skin Editor.  Open to suggestions.  Thank you!

  • What is the function to hide all pages in a form?

    Hello

    What function I could use to hide all pages in a form?

    For example: when a user click on a button, I want to hide all the pages of the form.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    This works because the script in parentheses () is re-run until the value of i is 25.

    The loop is built in three parts:

    var i = 1;     He declares the variable i and sets with an initial value of 1

    I have<=25;     this="" is="" a="" test,="" the="" loop="" runs="" until="" i="" is="" greater="" than="">

    i ++ which increase the value of i by 1 every time the loop is executed

    When you put is all together that...

    for (var i=1; i<=25; i++)
    {
         // script in here will run 25 times
    }
    

    If you use a hidden for the number of pages field, you must set this default value at design time (object > range of value). So the for statement would look like this:

    for (var i=1; i<=totalNumberPages.rawValue; i++)
    

    You don't need to change the variable i of all.

    Hope that helps,

  • Can someone help me with a Code that allows you to hide all but the first few fields when the form opens

    My form has a section (subform) on top that is always open and then underneath it is dynamic and I want some subforms and sections to open based on users to input. I use action Builder to open the screen and have all the fields that are hidden, but I have too much subforms and must hide individually all subforms. Is there a code that allows you to hide all fields for me when the form opens, and then I can use action Builder to open just what I need based on a drop-down list button or radio?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Using LockAllFields of Paul's example, you could place the JavaScript code within the root node docReady event (normally 'form1').

    Please note that the last line is the presence of one of the subforms to visible return. Let's call it ShowThisSubform.

    // Declare some variables
    var allChildElements;
    var intNumElements;
    var currentElement;
    var j;
    
    // Get all the child nodes of the parent element (the root node/"form1")
    allChildElements = this.nodes; // "this" will use the element where the script is placed
    
    //Total number of element in the object
    intNumElements = allChildElements.length;
    
    // Loop through all the child elements
    for (j=0; j< intNumElements; j++) {
         currentElement = allChildElements.item(j);
         // If the element is a subform we'll hide it
         if (allChildElements.item(j).className == "subform") {

  • Hide all layers

    I have over 150 different models used in events like backgrounds. Some have one selection of other up to six. Using the event handler action happening in the choice of different I find myselfe always clicking on stop several times during the use of less than 6 selections. Yes I could delete or hide layers in the action, because I always close when you are finished with an action "Close without saving" but I think a script better. The script should hide all layers without worrying how much there is. My origins have no other layers called layers, but only those stuck will be called layer 1, layer 2, etc.

    Here's a sample of what I do: can someone help me please.

  • With the last update, I can't minimize a window by double-clicking. I want to cut a window in the dock, not hide all open windows.

  • Try to hide all traces of The SIMS 2, other users, especially in Indexing Options

    I tried to change the "Indexing Options" but that is the problem.  It seems that any program that has a place in the "start > all programs" cannot be hidden by the Vista Start button search engine, no matter what you do in the "Indexing Options".

    Is there maybe a way to remove programs from Sims of the ' Start > all programs "?  I would like to have in one place, preferably in a folder that I can give a name without a report and give the password.  And of course I need to hide all the search engine of the Start button.

    ... Any ideas?  Any chance this type of capability is available in a program that I could buy?

    Yes you can delete it. Just right click on the entry in the list of programs all and select "Delete" from the menu.

    The behavior you're seeing is correct and expected.  What is anchored with the character and paragraph panels becomes hidden with them.  This behavior is exactly the same as the versions previous (I even checked).

    A table has a class name of the subform, but will have a property of page layout with the value of "table."  If you find one of these, then you sweep that subform.

  • Drag / move, hide all messages

    With regard to the blog of Lilybiri, Drag & Drop Captivate blog - tips, is it possible to hide all the explanations with the reset button, instead of letting one of them is visible?

    Success will be made, similar to the Question slides, when the answer is correct. You're right, it's very confusing. Everything that you select in the interaction & slipped, you will still see the settings for D & D total, not for this component. What you see on the Actions tab are always stocks for total interaction, never for any object. And as I wrote, the fact that the actions of the object must be open with a button on the tab Format is also very confusing. The change of the user interface is certainly not make it easier for D & D, but it is of course my personal opinion. You must select the target to be able to find the actions of the object, where you have stocks of the object for each drag source that is moved to the target, why?

  • How to hide all instances of subform (via a click event of the button) except the last instance.

    When my form is rendered, it can contain multiple 'case' of a subform full page.  So basically, I have a subform labeled "Info" that spans a full page. Depending on how the form is used when a new instance is added to the document it essentially new creates an entire page.

    What I'm trying to hide all instances of subform ("Info"), except the LAST instance that is always on the last page.

    Theoretically, by hiding all previous subform instances (for example, 1-4) and keep only the last instance, it will reduce the number of pages 5-to-1.

    Hope it makes sense.

    SO I guess I need a way to get the number of instances of complete subform, then hide all instances, but the last instance (via a button click).

    Thanks in advance for your help.

What happens if your pallet traced has saved paths as long as there is no space empty to click in? I know that I can just to expand the palette, but I don't want to have to do that, because all my palettes are solidly organized in a giant wall o ' pallets on a second monitor. Is there a way to hide all paths without having to expand the palette to bring up the empty space?
