Copied

When ussing the Playback Option in the Actions menu, then the  Results are different with different Acceleration methods.

So the Result is different with, Accelerated - Step by Step - Pauze for [1],

I Expierence the issue with Windows and Mac as well.

This happens with Illustrator CS5 (15.0.1)

# Workflow

Creating the action:

Open Illustrator, open the attached document: 4102107 Exact.pdf

Create an New Action, enable Transform

Select the Black Square and the Red text

Go to Object, Scale > 33.3% and press

Then go to Transform an from the upper corner and enter on the x=397,13 pt y=212,25

You see the Image moved to the correct clip.

Open the Document in Illustrator,
Go to Actions > Select the created action >Now go to the Panel Menu from Actions > Select Playback option.
You get a new Dialog where you can select a different acceleration mode: "Step by Step" - "Accelrated" - "Pause for [Numeric] Seconds"
So the issue is, when you select here a different accelration the result is different.
>Is this as Designed? If So, why because when i understand the function of an automated script. It should exactly get the same
result as programmed, why else would you want to use the script if the result with be different without nothing

Clearer explanation of the issue.
When creating an action (as shown in the Video) You can see that the result
is totally different and when creating the action. This is error 1.
Then when you select a Playback option in the setting of the Actions Panel,
the Result differs.
As you can see when executig in the Accelerated the Movement gets placed WAY out of the file.
When selection Step by Step or Pause for [Numeric] Seconds, then the result is that the movement gets placed
at the bottom of the file. Both of the Results don't even come close in the Action which is created.
Hopefully this will calrify what i ment.
