I am trying to create a bookmark with a JavaScript function attached to it. I have done that. It is under a parent bookmark called Schematic Tools.
My problem is that the iterations of my for loop are off. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. The layers I am looking for will ONLY exist on odd page numbers (odd being based on the page 1 is page[0] so they are on pages 2, 4, 6, 8, etc..
var onPage = 1;
var usablePages = [];
for (var z = 0; z < this.numPages; z++) {
if (onPage <= this.numPages) {
usablePages.push((onPage + 1));
onPage += 2;
}
}
// Array of all of the layers
var ocgArray = this.getOCGs();
// Create a header bookmark for all isolation tools to go under
this.bookmarkRoot.createChild("Schematic Tools");
var headerBookmark = this.bookmarkRoot.children[0];
headerBookmark.style = 3;
// Alphabetize the layers
ocgArray.sort();
for (var z = 0; z < usablePages.length; z++) {
for (i = 0; i < ocgArray.length; i++) {
if (ocgArray.name == "No Color") {
headerBookmark.createChild({
cName: ocgArray.name,
cExpr: "noColor();",
nIndex: i
});
console.println("Page #: " + usablePages
+ " Layer: " + ocgArray.name); }
if (ocgArray.name == "Black (Ground)") {
headerBookmark.createChild({
cName: ocgArray.name,
cExpr: "ground();",
nIndex: i
});
console.println("Page #: " + usablePages
+ " Layer: " + ocgArray.name); }
if (ocgArray.name == "032 (Red) (Battery Power)") {
headerBookmark.createChild({
cName: ocgArray.name,
cExpr: "zeroThreeTwo();",
nIndex: i
});
console.println("Page #: " + usablePages
+ " Layer: " + ocgArray.name); }
if (ocgArray.name == "640 (Blue) (Key Power)") {
headerBookmark.createChild({
cName: ocgArray.name,
cExpr: "sixFourZero();",
nIndex: i
});
console.println("Page #: " + usablePages
+ " Layer: " + ocgArray.name); }
if (ocgArray.name == "021 (Orange) (Starting)") {
headerBookmark.createChild({
cName: ocgArray.name,
cExpr: "zeroTwoOne();",
nIndex: i
});
console.println("Page #: " + usablePages
+ " Layer: " + ocgArray.name); }
}
}
Here is the output to the console I am getting:
Page #: 2 Layer: 021 (Orange) (Starting)
Page #: 2 Layer: 032 (Red) (Battery Power)
Page #: 2 Layer: 032 (Red) (Battery Power)
Page #: 2 Layer: 640 (Blue) (Key Power)
Page #: 2 Layer: 640 (Blue) (Key Power)
Page #: 2 Layer: Black (Ground)
Page #: 2 Layer: Black (Ground)
Page #: 2 Layer: No Color
Page #: 2 Layer: No Color
Page #: 4 Layer: 021 (Orange) (Starting)
Page #: 4 Layer: 032 (Red) (Battery Power)
Page #: 4 Layer: 032 (Red) (Battery Power)
Page #: 4 Layer: 640 (Blue) (Key Power)
Page #: 4 Layer: 640 (Blue) (Key Power)
Page #: 4 Layer: Black (Ground)
Page #: 4 Layer: Black (Ground)
Page #: 4 Layer: No Color
Page #: 4 Layer: No Color
I know for a fact that this is what the CORRECT output SHOULD be:
Page #: 2 Layer: 021 (Orange) (Starting)
Page #: 2 Layer: 032 (Red) (Battery Power)
Page #: 2 Layer: 640 (Blue) (Key Power)
Page #: 2 Layer: Black (Ground)
Page #: 2 Layer: No Color
Page #: 4 Layer: 021 (Orange) (Starting)
Page #: 4 Layer: 032 (Red) (Battery Power)
Page #: 4 Layer: 640 (Blue) (Key Power)
Page #: 4 Layer: Black (Ground)
Page #: 4 Layer: No Color
Here are the bookmarks that get created:
What I would love ideally is if it would break them up under two parent headers
Schematic Tools - Page 1
021 (Orange) (Starting)
032 (Red) (Battery Power)
640 (Blue) (Key Power)
Black (Ground)
No Color
Schematic Tools - Page 2
021 (Orange) (Starting)
032 (Red) (Battery Power)
640 (Blue) (Key Power)
Black (Ground)
No Color
Sorry for all the info. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You don't need an array for the page numbers you want to process, first of all. Get rid of it.
Your mistake is that you've defined the ocgs array before your pages loop, so it simply contains all the ocgs in the entire file.
You should do it like this, instead:
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p+=2) {
var ocgArray = this.getOCGs(p);
// insert rest the of ocg-related code here
}

try67​ How can I make the bookmarks create in reverse order? So in other words it is currently making bookmark Schematic Tools - Volume 1 first....then Schematic Tools - Volume 2. The bookmarks that correspond with them are correct... I just want to have Schematic Tools - Volume 1 on top.
