JavaScript to find a specific Layer

[Mgs0101]

Hi all,

I have been looking into the scripting side of Illustrator and have been struggling to get my head around things.

I am trying to create a simple code that would find a layer by name/ID and change its content.

I can create a code to create a new layer, but I am struggling to modify this to allow me to change a layer that already exists.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

A layer named "Layer 1" is referenced as such

app.activeDocument.layers["Layer 1"]

For example, to lock layer "Layer 1"

app.activeDocument.layers["Layer 1"].locked = true;

Or, to remove all path items from layer "Layer 1"

app.activeDocument.layers["Layer 1"].pathItems.removeAll();

Thanks so much for your quick response - will give this a go.

Thanks again
