a script that detects whether an object is turned 180 degrees

Hi @Majonezowy, it would be good if you can post some demo document with an example of an easy comparison, a "middle difficulty" comparison and "the hardest conceivable" comparison.

I think that the hardest conceivable comparison might be simply a 180° rotated, embedded, raster item that has no BBAccumRotation tag.

That case might actually be challenging.

Bonjour,

Le Tag nommé BBAccumRotation, si rotation il y a donne l'angle de rotation.

Si pas de rotation, ce Tag n'existe pas, si il existe sa valeur indique 0°.  

Pour 180°

Tag: (BBAccumRotation , 180.000019847843)

Remarque importante:

Pour que ce script fonctionne, il ne faut pas que l'objet sélectionné ai subit une rotation par script sauf si le script a mis à jour la valeur de ce Tag (Qui est chose rare).

// Find tags of selected art item, show names and values in separate document
// tags.js de elleere
// 05 02 2018
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
  doc = app.activeDocument;
if ( doc.selection.length > 0 ) {
  sel = selection;
  for ( i = 0; i < sel.length; i++ ) {
    selectedArt = sel[i];
    type = selectedArt.typename;
    tagList = selectedArt.tags;
      if (tagList.length == 0) {
        alert( type+"\rThe selected art has no tags" );
      }
      else { // Create a document and add a line of text per tag
        reportDocument = app.documents.add();
        top_offset = 400;
        newItem = reportDocument.textFrames.add();
        newItem.contents = type+"\r";
        newItem.position = [100, top_offset];
          for ( k = 0; k < tagList.length; k++ ) {
            tagText = tagList[k].value* 180 / Math.PI;
            newItem.contents += "Tag: (" + tagList[k].name +
            " , " + tagText + ")\r";
          }
      }
  }
}
else { alert( "No art items selected." ); }
}
