Setting draw modes through script?

I've edited the script to allow for multiple paths to be pasted inside simultaneously and also to allow paths to be added to an existing clipmap while still retaining fill and stroke.

Remember that the BOTTOM MOST path will be used as the clipping path.

Why? Because I like that workflow better and it was meant to imitate paste inside from Freehand.

Thanks for all your help Carlos Canto.

Here's a link to a short video showing how it works: http://www.govisit.se/pasteInside_for_Illustrator.swf

I have it attached to a quick key (Ctrl+Alt+V) but in the video I go to the scripts menu.

#target Illustrator
//  script.name = pasteInside.jsx 
//  script.description = makes a clipping mask, retaining fill/stroke, to simulate "paste inside";
//  script.required = at least two paths selected, bottom most path will be the clipping mask;
//  script.parent = carlos canto // 2011-08-16;
//  edit to allow for multiple paths to be pasted inside simultaneously;
//  edit to allow paths to be added to an existing clipmap;
//  script.edit = jan sandstrom // 2011-08-21;
if (app.documents.length > 0)
    {
        var idoc = app.activeDocument; // get active document;
        var sel = idoc.selection; // get selection
        var ipath = new Array();
        var lastSelectionIndex = sel.length-1;
       if (sel.length>1)  // continue if more than 2 objects are selected
            {
                ipath = sel;
                // Lets see if the selection contains an existing clipping mask. If it does, we just move the new paths into the clipped group.
                if (ipath[ipath.length-1].clipped == true)
                {
                    var existingGroup = ipath[ipath.length-1];
                    ipath.pop(); // Get rid of the last one since that is the clipmap.    
                    for (var i = 0; i < (ipath.length); i++)
     { 
                        ipath.move(existingGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
                    }
                    redraw(); // update view.
                }    
               else // If there is no existing clipping mask we do it this way.
                {
     var igroup = idoc.groupItems.add(); // add a group that will be the clipping mask group
     ipath = sel;
     var imask = sel[lastSelectionIndex]; // The bottom most curve will be the clipping mask.
     ipath.pop(); // Get rid of the last one since that is the clipmap.
     var idup = imask.duplicate(); // duplicate the mask, to later get the fill and stroke to apply to the clipping path
     for (var i = 0; i < (ipath.length); i++){ 
      ipath.move(igroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
     }             
     imask.move(igroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // add the clipping path to the group
 
     imask.clipping = true; // make the mask the clipping path
     igroup.clipped = true; // clip everything in the group to the clipping mask
                    
     imask.fillColor = idup.fillColor; // add fill color, same as the dup
     imask.stroked = true; // stroke the mask
     imask.strokeWidth = idup.strokeWidth; // add stroke width, same as the dup
     imask.strokeColor = idup.strokeColor; // add stroke color, seme as the dup
     idup.remove(); // remove the duplicate
     redraw(); // update view.
    } 
   }
   else // show this message if less than 2 objects are selected
           {
                alert("Select both, the Mask and the objects that needs to be 'inside'.\rThe Mask needs to be the bottom most object.");
           }        
     }
 else 
    {
        alert ("There are no open documents!");
    }

it seems there's no way to change the drawing mode, what are you trying to accomplish after that? you could draw normally and make your clippling mask yourself
