Hello,

I am doing an action to help my workflow.

I allready done action that I happy with but than I realize that I can not custumize this action.

What I am triyng to do it is to insert stop for stroke width. This parameter is very critical for the job and stroke width is diferent from object to object. I need to set up it manually. Is it is posible to do in illustrator?

There is a command in the flyout menu of the Actions palette. It is called "Insert Stop".

Is that what you are looking for?

yes it works.

What I had in my mind it is pop-up window with stroke properties. Is it posible?

Well, somehow it is possible by opening the Strokes palette with the Insert Menu Item command in the Actions palette menu, but that is a "one-time-on" and "one-time-off" game.

A modal dialog to change stroke weights by absolute values does not exist.
