Copy-paste elements from a AI document to specific coordinates

Hi JonathanArias,

I have to use Illustrator to export the final document in SVG.

And using illustrator would be better to gain productivity (I have about 3000 document to do ...)

In complement, I've worked on a Photoshop script that actually do what I'm looking for.

I would be interested in having it working for Illustrator as well (with adaptations ...)

The best would be to be able to establich a loop of treatment inside a specific layer set.

Thank you in advance for your help !

1. var doc = activeDocument
2. var TextBox = doc.layerSets.Text
4. //Management of the active Layer
5. var dotLayerName = doc.activeLayer.name
6. var dotLayer = doc.activeLayer
8. // Function to create the text box
9. createText("Arial-BoldMT", 29, 255,255,255, dotLayerName, 100, 50)
10. activeDocument.activeLayer.name = dotLayerName
11. activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.justification = Justification.CENTER
14.     function createText(fface, size, colR, colG, colB, content, tX, tY){
15.      
16.   // Add a new layer in the new document
17.   var artLayerRef = app.activeDocument.artLayers.add()
20.   // move the layer to the layer set Text
21.   artLayerRef.move(TextBox, ElementPlacement.INSIDE)
22.  
23.   // Specify that the layer is a text layer
24.   artLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT
27.   //This section defines the color of the hello world text
28.   textColor = new SolidColor();
29.   textColor.rgb.red = colR;
30.   textColor.rgb.green = colG;
31.   textColor.rgb.blue = colB;
34.   //Get a reference to the text item so that we can add the text and format it a bit
35.   textItemRef = artLayerRef.textItem
36.   textItemRef.font = fface;
37.   textItemRef.contents = content;
38.   textItemRef.color = textColor;
39.   textItemRef.size = size
40.   textItemRef.position = new Array(tX, tY) //pixels from the left, pixels from the top
42.  
43.   var dotLayerCenterX = (dotLayer.bounds[0] + dotLayer.bounds[2])/2; 
44.   var dotLayerCenterY = (dotLayer.bounds[1] + dotLayer.bounds[3])/2; 
45.   var textLayerCenterX = (artLayerRef.bounds[0] + artLayerRef.bounds[2])/2; 
46.   var textLayerCenterY = (artLayerRef.bounds[1] + artLayerRef.bounds[3])/2;
49. //move text layer 
50. artLayerRef.translate(dotLayerCenterX-textLayerCenterX, dotLayerCenterY-textLayerCenterY)
52. }
