Setting Scale Corners in a script

New Here ,

I'm writing a script to fit an object into a specific sized box. I'm using:

artwork[0].resize(scale, scale ,1,1,1,1,scale);

in order to change the size. Everything seems to be working fine except if I have the "Scale Corners" check box in the Transform palette turned off. Then, of course, it doesn't scale the corners!

I can't figure out of there is a way to either, override that in the script or change the setting and then change it back when its done.

I tried:

getBooleanPreference("Scale Corners");

to see if I could get to it that way, but it doesn't match up with what is shown as selected!

Any ideas?

Sorry, I misunderstand you before. Well, seems like we have to call an action.

var actionStr =

['/version 3',

'/name [1 73]',

'/actionCount 1',

'/action-1 {',

'    /name [ 12 7363616c65436f726e657273]',

'    /eventCount 1',

'    /event-1 {',

'        /internalName (ai_liveshapes)',

'        /parameterCount 1',

'        /parameter-1 {',

'            /key 1933800046',

'            /type (boolean)',

'            /value 1',

'        }',

'    }',

'}'].join('');

createAction(actionStr, 's');

app.doScript('scaleCorners'

Thanks @moluapple but that's not quite what I'm after. It's scale corners that I'm looking for.

Here's a pic showing what's going on! When the center logo is resized, the top right logo is what happens. And the bottom right is what I want. The check box I want to switch is the one bottom left in the transform panel. (Scale Corners)

I've now had a quick try at "app.preferences.setBooleanPreference('scaleCorners', 1);" (thanks for the suggestion) but that still doesn't seem to do it!

Hi moluapple​,

only one note (or better addition):

line #14 in your Code is the important line.

     '               /value 1', // value 0 for uncheck the option Scale Corners

Have fun

Of cause you are right.

Also note I had deleted some parts, only left the core parts of the .aia file, so now is the structure(1st line + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + end lines):

  • name
  • count
  • action/event/parameter details
