I'm new to this illustrator script. 

I think we should first understand its objects, properties and methods, and i want to know more through official VBScript reference documents,but i can't find the latest file I want in the following link, does anyone know where the latest VBScript reference documents are? Thanks!

In the link you posted, click "console" (in the upper right corner) and log in. Click "Download resources". Scroll down to "Illustrator", which is in the bottom half of the page. Click "View downloads". You'll find the VBScript reference there.

Hi Raymond, I'm new to Illustrator too, come on a long walk with Corel. I also have a bit of difficulty finding material. But the community here is very active and very available. Depending on the level at which you intend to work with scripts, my advice is to think about changing the language, I believe that the best language for this would be JavaScript.
You will find material at these links to get started:

https://ai-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/

https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/illustrator/pdf/Illustrator_VBScript_Reference_2017.pdf

 

I hope this helps you.

Best regards

HI Felipe,

 

Maybe you're right, but I'm not a professional programmer. I don't have any foundation for JS. VBS is well combined with MS office, but I find that its execution is a little slow, so maybe you're right, JS is the best language.

 

Thank you very much for your advice and link!
