Hello! Adobe Illustrator CS 6

I have script, wich groups filled paths by colors. Link to script and traced image. Traced_image.rar - Google Drive

I have traced image, it has 25 colors. The script creates 25 groups, paths of each color in each group.

I need to modify script, i want to insert text number in visible middle of the each filled path. So one group is one number. From 1 to 25.

Can anyone help me?

Hello all, here comes the final version.

This time "offset path effect" been used. I thought this is a possible way at beginning, but never give it a try, until today.

It deal with both Path and Compound Path. Test the sample document, it only took 31 seconds.

This would be absolutely amazing. People at work are already astonished I managed to find this, it will save us hours.

Hopefully this share works... link --->  Adobe Document Cloud

I can be patient but I am pretty excited haha. I brand vehicles and a lot have chevrons. We number them for the client to pin point which pieces need replacing.

If you need anymore info or anything, let me know!

Thank you all so much! I love this forum!

Nice work, I can't wait to have some spare time to have a look at your script.
getting it to run in 30 sec is good, will be nice to see you method.

it's great to see a idea from left of center get taken up and built on until it actually becomes a usable tool.

The script doesn't work for me. Only one number can be included there (only the number 1 in all sectors for all colours, instead of showing the whole set of numbers). I need all the numbers from 1 to 24. Can you please advise where the problem is?
