• Download the work plan of the selected item

  I have the script where I select objects on the artboard multiple, but I can't seem to get advice art activates the selected item. Is this possible?

  each work plan is a text element and I that they in the same position on each of their own work plans they are already a. now it fits them all to a work plan. Here's what I have so far

• Why is-work plan in AI CS5.1 jumping around while I draw?

  I'm on a Mac Pro, OS x 10.6.8 using Illustrator CS 5.1 (with the latest updates).

  (1) when I paint with the tool pen (normal click, click, click--extend a curve, etc.), whenever I click the artboard past not only to a new place, it zooms inside or out. It also happens while I am moving a copy (the key optiion) of an object.

  (2) then, sometimes when I click, I get the flyout to break point, so I lose this point. Sometimes two.

  (3) also, when I zoomed in and movement of an object at a precise point, the subject jumps, like a magnet repel the same pole. If I copy an object and paste or out, it's good, but when I move an object near another object, it jumps away. I have reset the tolerance slam several times, but I see no difference.

  I deleted the prefs to here several times. I thought it might be my mouse Pref, but I changed those and see no difference. Fortunately, I usually work in CMYK mode, because the presets of the web are even more on wacked.

  In the last update installed (automatically), there was a message that everything has been installed (or a variant of it).

  Does this mean that I have to go to Lion?

  Thanks to all the gurus on Adobe. Your time is much appreciated.

  I don't think that this has nothing to do with AI by themselves. sounds more like spaces / presentation or whatever Apple choose to call these days tent tio interpret workspaces overlapping / areas of the screen. I had certainly chack these things and the settings of the monitor. Maybe even that you have defined a secondfary monitor / desktop it which causes this. Regarding updates, need us newspapers pertinet but generalyl has nothing to with what version of Mac OS x you are using but are caused by corruptions in Adobes own Installer database and other...

• 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.

• Rename work plans using their number

  I need a script or action or rtfm-citation that renames all work plans (may be selected only, but I don't see any use of it) with the default template ('graphic board X'), where X is a real number to the artboard.

  I'm a little tired after rearrange the order of the arboards their labels do not correspond with the numbers.

  function renameArtboards() {}

  var app.activeDocument = docRef;

  var aB = docRef.artboards;

  for (var a = 0;<>

  var curAB = aB [a];

  curAB.name = 'Work Plan' + [a + 1];

  }

• 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.

• Copy of vertical guidance to additional work plans

  I have a layout I created in work plan 1.

  I have guides for all the locations of the web page (I do the design of website in 1 artboard by page.)

  I work plan 2 aligned horizontally with work plan 1 and horizontal guide excellent work.

  Now, I want to copy guides (vertical or all) and place it on the artboard 2 copy the exact location, so I can align together.

  I sepearated all my guides in 1 layer, how can we copy all the guides and based on the artboard 2 departure of coordinates for vertical lines?

  To unlock the guides Ctrl + Alt +; then select all (blocking all the rest first) and to paste it in exactly the same position on a new work plan (same size) Select Shift + Ctrl + V, making sure that you have artboard 2 selected during this operation.

• 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]);
  AB_2.name = 'second quadrant';
  var AB_3 = activeDocument.artboards.add([-200,0,0,-50]);
  AB_3.name = 'third quadrant';
  var AB_4 = activeDocument.artboards.add([0,0,200,-50]);
  AB_4.name = 'fourth quadrant';

• 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)

• 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?

  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.

• JavaScript allows you to select works of art on a particular work plan?

  Is it possible to use Javascript to select all the illustrations on a particular work plan?

  Or if you could not designate the selection based on the index of the artboard, another way I could see to do would be to select all illustrations in a framework encompassing? For example, if I were to measure the artboardRect of a work plan and then set the selection all pageItems in this context?

  Thanks in advance!

• By selecting the same outline color or fill in only a single work plan (not all)?

  This seems to be an obvious question. I have 6 work plans in a document, each containing a slightly different version of a complex logo that I'm working on. In the past, I would have just used a large body of work and had a layer for each different version but this time I thought I'd give multiple work plans, a go (I've just updated for CS3) and without layers. Trying to go to Select - same line color, it seems that it selects the same color of stroke on ALL working plans. In the past I would have had the layers locked except the one I was working on. I looked in preferences to see if there's something to turn it off, but it does not exist. Am I missing something?

  One thing you can do:

  Select the entire document on the artboard, you are dealing with, select reverse, Lock (Cmd + 2).

  This way you have blocked all on other work plans.

  You can now select same wotever on the artboard, you deal with without affecting the others.

• Why is the crop tool of Pathfinder removing elements of work plan?

  Hi all

  I have a drawing with shapes that pass the complex vector graphic board. I want to reframe the elements contained in the work plan without using a clipping mask. My problem is when I draw a rectangle equal to the artboard, place it on its own in the upper layer, unlock and show all forms (there is no open path) and select all the items, the results do not give me a good vector to be cropped. For some reason, it removes items from the artboard and leaves the white lines where my ways are... live the paths of the steam! (there is no transparent and everything is in RGB)

  Here are the before and after of the background of the work. Any ideas?

  before:

  Thank you!!

  For some reason, it removes items from the artboard

  The reason depends specifically on the manner in which your paths are drawn.

  You should be able to do this:

  1. place a horizontal guide at the bottom of the artboard.

  2 knife tool: Position cursor outboard of the artboard. Press Alt. Mousedown (alignment of the guide). ShiftDrag to the right at the bottom of the work.

  However, this assumes behavior reliable and accurate Snap on tool set, which is not Illustrator.

  To avoid all the warnings of illustrators Boolean path very badly implemented combination offers (the so-called Scouts):

  1 rectangle tool. Draw a rectangle on the artboard outboard, alignment of the upper part of it to the bottom of the artboard.

  2 copy.

  3 ShiftClick one of the paths that you want to cut out.

  4. click on the "punch" (subtract) Pathfinder (assuming that the CS5 or CS4; altClick the same Pathfinder in CS3 and earlier versions.)

  5 paste in front. Repeat steps 3 & 4.
