@Mr24270707n0mj , I don't know about your development knowledge. But it would help you.

1, Need to have good knowledge of C++.
2, Need to have good knowledge of XCODE (for mac os), and Visual Studio (for windows os).
3, And then you need to know the Adobe SDK and Illustrator Object Modul.

The Adobe SDK is available to download on this link https://developer.adobe.com/illustrator/
Sample source code is also on the SDK folder

Hi, is your intent to create a new Adobe Illustrator plugin? If so, you'll need to work in C++. It's a lot more work than writing a script, but blazingly fast by comparison to run.

To get started, there may be a steep learning curve. I know of no classes or tutorials specifically for this. You'll probably want to start by downloading Adobe's SDK and studying the sample projects. You may also want to download Hot Door's CORE library at http://hotdoorcore.com and study their sample projects. Next, compile and run the sample projects, then try making your own changes to them.

Best of luck with it!
