app.copy(); app.paste(); doesn't work perfectly.

[은정주2002854]

What could be causing app.copy(); app.paste(); to not work perfectly in the script below?
The R-letter is missing when copying and pasting.
It works fine when I copy and paste in the app and not in the script.

function load(url) {

    var loadFile;

    loadFile = new File(url);

    doc = app.open(loadFile);

    doc.rulerOrigin = [0, 0];

}

load("C:/podContents/illustrator_error/tshirt0.ai");

var layer = doc.layers[0];

var gItem = layer.groupItems[0];

doc.selection = gItem;

app.copy();

app.paste();

The reason we need copy and paste is because we want to copy from the original file and then open another document to paste it into.

I solved it.

function load(url) {

    var loadFile;

    loadFile = new File(url);

    doc = app.open(loadFile);

    doc.rulerOrigin = [0, 0];

}

load("C:/podContents/illustrator_error/tshirt0.ai");

var layer = doc.layers[0];

var gItem = layer.groupItems[0];

doc.selection = gItem;

var emptyDoc = app.documents.add(DocumentColorSpace.RGB, 714.8721 , 1716.4345 );

var copied = gItem.duplicate(emptyDoc);

Nice! Well done.

Hi @은정주2002854, sorry I don't know why the R isn't being copy/pasted. However, I would recommend if you can use PageItem.duplicate() instead. This is a better options because it doesn't need to disturb the clipboard.

var dup = gItem.duplicate(myLayerInOtherDocument, ElementPlacement.INSIDE);
