A "symbol set" produced by the Symbol Sprayer tool is a pluginItem.

Hi @AnyON, could you please explain what you want the script to do, and post an example file?

It looks like you are talking about the result of using the Symbol Sprayer tool. The scripting API currently doesn't provide access to this object except via the symbol items or by expanding it into individual symbols or even further into normal path items. It is likely that what you want isn't as straightforward as we would like, but we won't know until you show us what you want to do via script.

1.Select this Symbol set in the layer
2. Release this Symbol set into layers (sequence)

the code should look something like this

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.pluginItems[0]

app.activeDocument.pluginItems[0].selected = true

app.doScript("ReliseToLayers", "Set 1");

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't highlight Symbol Set syblayer to then run the command (Release to Layers (Sequence))
