Reset and Switch workspace illustrator CS6

[beymig]

Hello all,

Is there a way of resetting and/or switching  workspaces through a script in Illustrator CS6? I have tried with the functions shown in the CC Illustrator Adobe documentation and it shows me an error not recognizing the function. And I don't see those functions in the CS6 documentation.

Any help would be truly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Looking through the documentation all the 'workspace' related methods were introduced in CC, so more than likely the answer is no.

i know it's not really what you're asking for.. but you can reset a workspace via an action.. if i recall correctly you can run an action from ESTK in CS6..

You can reset workspace like below.

app.executeMenuCommand("Adobe Reset Workspace");

However, There are no way to manipurate workspace in CS6 as W_J_T say.

‌Nice info Ten A and CarlosCanto good to know, thanks for sharing.

starting with CS6

var result = app.sendScriptMessage("Adobe Custom Workspace" , "Switch Workspace", '<workspace="Automation" >'); // Essentials
alert(result);

Thank you Ten A and CarlosCanto! That really helped me out. Sorry about the delay on my response, I was taking finals at school. But now my script is up and running!

Happy Holidays!
