Robert,

I think your requirement is, you wanted to search any object stroke weight and change with new stroke weight.

var doc = app.documents[0];
var myOldStrokeWeight = 1;// find stroke weight
var myNewStrokeWeight = 5;// change stroke weight
changeStrokeWeight ();
function changeStrokeWeight(){
  var page = doc.pages;
  for(i=0; i<page.length; i++){
  var myPage = page;
  for(j=0; j<myPage.pageItems.length; j++){
  var myObj = myPage.pageItems;
  if(myObj.strokeWeight == myOldStrokeWeight){
  myObj.strokeWeight = myNewStrokeWeight;
  }
  }
  }
}

Hi Sumit,

don't think so. See this thread, that could be related:

Save frame as jpg whthout contour

Where Robert wants to set the strokeWeight to 0 and later back to the initial value after exporting frames to JPEG.

That would be "dangerous" as I discussed there.

The values for:

StrokeAlignment
StrokeColor
StrokeDashAndGap
StrokeType

etc.pp.

could be set back to default that i.a. is governed by the activated object style in the Object Styles panel.
So you could either strore the values of the properties mentioned above or do the export on a duplicate you can later throw away.

Regards,
Uwe

Hi Laubender,

I got it.

Robert can apply remove any strokeColor, strokeWeight and export as jpeg and close file without save.
