Hello,

I am using Illustrator CC for Scripting. I have dashed lines in my drawing and want to align dashes to corners and path ends.

No problem in the Illustrator stroke menu. There are two buttons with dashed lines on it. There I can select this option.

But I cannot find the script command to do this. Please can you help me?

Best regards

Harald

Hello Sigurdur,

I found on this page a script which calculates the positions and adjust the dashes.

But I do not found the command to call the Illustrator function.

Does this mean, there is no possibility to call the Illustrator function from the Stroke-Object?

I have to use the script?

Best regards

Harald

as an alternative, you could record an Action to adjust the dashes, then have your script play such action.


Thank you for your answers!

I recorded an action, but there are several settings in this stroke menu.

So I got in the aia-file a lot of settings, for example:

  /parameter-13 {

   /key 1634494318

   /showInPalette -1

   /type (enumerated)

   /name [ 5

    4d69747465

   ]

   /value 0

Is there an easier way to do it?

Can I use application.executeMenuCommand or JavaScript to call the internal Illustrator function on this button?

Thanks in advance!

Harald
