How to "Convert To bezier Path" vía scripting

[platepar]

Hi everyone!

I´m looking for the way to convert a parametric shape (like Rect or Ellipse) into a bezier path.

I have tried it via

app.executeCommand('Convert To Bezier Path');

but since "Convert To Bezier Path" has not comand ID (if I ask with app.indMenuCommandId('Convert To Bezier Path'), returns 0), It doesn´t work.

Also it could be helpful to know the Bezier path of the parametric shape, even this is not converted to bezier path, but I don´t know how to do this either.

I have been looking for a long time, but I have no a clue!!

Could anybody help me?

Nobody?

Not even a clue?

I'm not sure whether you can convert it directly, however! You can iterate through shape layer properties until you see an Ellipse or Rect, and then using the size/position/roundness/etc properties rebuild a new path matching those parameters. Much more work, but you can probably get there in the end.

Alternatively, there's an existing solution for this here: Convert Shapes

Not sure if you prefer scripting, but found this:

You can convert a parametric path to a Bezier path after the parametric path has already been created by context-clicking (right-clicking or Control-clicking on Mac OS) the property group for the parametric path (e.g., Rectangle Path 1) and choosing the Convert To Bezier Path command from the context menu.

You have to click on the path (eg, Path 1, Path 2 etc).
