Illustrator Macros/Scripting

[_Richard_Waverley_]

Hey guys is it possible to create macros in illustrator, or how would this be achieved via the scripting.

Basically i have a c# application that contains alot of pictureboxes all with images in them. i want to be able to right click an image and select vectorise. Which will send the image to illustrator live trace the image, resize it, then copy the resulting image back into my c# app.

How would this be best done

thanks

Illustrator's built-in macro recording/playback functionality is called Actions.

hey

thanks for the reply, i found the actions and managed to record a macro. however have a problem i have recorded the following actions
1. Create a new document
2. Paste image from clipboard
3. Live trace the image

However when i play the macro back it doesnt appear to have saved the live traceing i done.

any ideas why this is or how to overcome it ?
