need a script to calculate raduis and create frame around shape

Hi @femkeblanco and @Tom Winkelmann 

A side note:
You both use the wrong path points for calculation.

In this case:

instead of:

var x1 = points[4].anchor[0], x2 = points[5].anchor[0];
var y1 = points[4].anchor[1], y2 = points[5].anchor[1];

use:

var x1 = points[3].anchor[0], x2 = points[4].anchor[0];
var y1 = points[3].anchor[1], y2 = points[4].anchor[1];

But this will only help in this special case. Try not to rotate or mirror the rounded rectangle!

As I wrote at the beginning of this thread: A lot more math is required.

First you need to identify the two path points in the upper left corner. Then use these path points for your calculation.

Unfortunately not.
I'm just showing you how other scripters should go about it to get the value for the radii.

Don't forget: I previously posted the less complex script snippet for the dashed outline here in the thread. Have you tried it meanwhile?

And again:

Ok. The long way is mostly possible:

• duplicate you pathItem ( = helpers object)
• expand helpers object
• read the values of each pathPoint
• calculate the radius of each corner
• write the values of your radii into document
• remove the helpers object

I'm sorry to have to laugh.

This is the worst case scenario. We don't have access to the Appearance panel and assigned effects.

Friends
There was a misunderstanding
I'm attaching a screenshot to what I need

Experience shows that one can very rarely rely on such assumptions. Especially if someone asks without an exact detailed description: Can someone write a script for me.

Hi @femkeblanco 

please identify the roundness and if so the radius of each corner.

Hi @Tom Winkelmann,

I'm the same opinion.

Hi @aviel222,

1)

What about your other threads? Are they resolved?

For example:

We are users like you. And we want to help you!

"Don't bite the hand that feeds you."

I gave you a partial solution to the outline (no scripting) that doesn't take any time - once the graphic style has been created. We don't know anything about your project. I am so sorry this was not acceptable to you!

Here is a script snippet that does the same - it creates a dashed stroke for the selected path item:

// pathItem_dashed_Stroke.jsx
// select one pathItem before running this script snippet
// regards pixxxelschubser

var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var aSel = aDoc.selection[0];
aSel.stroked = true;
// swatch with name "CMYK Magenta" should already exists in your document
aSel.strokeColor = aDoc.swatches.getByName("CMYK Magenta").color;
aSel.strokeDashes = [2.8346457];
aSel.strokeWidth = 2.8346457;

There is no error management and you should build it into the other script yourself.

I will not make any changes to the script without the permission of the author! Sorry.

In addition, "your" script shown is an outdated variant.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

4)

The calculation of rounding depends on so many factors in your documents and objects that it is impossible to even remotely predict how much time it will take. So I cannot help you on this point.

By "radius" of a rectangle, do you mean diagonal of a rectangle?  I'm not sure where the r. 3528 in your attached file comes from. 

Do you really need a script for that? I don't think.

Save a graphic style and apply it to all objects.

If that works for you

have fun
