Following either (Xcode or VStudio) project for SnippetRunner, you'll find an entry to compile IAIArtboards.cpp which has the code for both ArtboardList and ArtboardProperties .

This is what I was about to post. You need to include the relevant CPP. If you ever get an `Undefined symbol` that means you are missing code, which is either a library or a .cpp file.

I did a search for "ArtboardList" in the SDK headers and found it is defined in "IAIArtboards.hpp" so you might try including that file.

Bummer. Sorry that didn't work. I'm sure there are a lot of people on this forum who have done this and can help.

Another option is to use CORE from Hot Door (http://hotdoorcore.com), as I do. It's free, and a lot easier to use than the SDK, although you can add SDK suites for anything not included in CORE. It's essentially c++ wrappers that simplify access to several versions of the SDK and adds things like cross-platform UI similar to Adobe's ADM which was sadly discontinued with AI16.

I'd download CORE and open the Panel sample. Add #include "hdicoreArtboard.h" at the top of panelPlugin.cpp.

Look for the callback "__artboardChangedCB()" which contains this:

const uint32_t count = currDoc->artboardCount();

Now add a for loop and examine the artboards.

for (uint32_t i = 0 ; i < count ; i++){

std::unique_ptr<Artboard> thisArtboard = currDoc->artboardAtIndex(i);

// check whatever properties you want in the console window bottom-right in Xcode,

// then change the code to something meaningful

std::cout<<"Do something with the properties of thisArtboard"<<std::endl;

}

Sometimes you don't need to use a suite's functions, but need one or more of the definitions in it, in which case you can include it but not necessariy acquire it.

Did you load the suite using AcquireSuite?
