Update Illustrator display while ScriptUI window is showing

[Kivak_Wolf]

Hello everyone!

When I use a script that utilizes a UIScript window, AI appears to not reflect any visual changes the script makes until I .hide() or .close() the ScriptUI window. For example... if I have a script that draws circles when I hit a "go" button in my ScriptUI window, the circles will not show up until I close the window.

Is there a way that I can dynamically refresh AI's display from the script (sort of like .update() does with the window)? Or is that not possible?

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

Try .Redraw

example:

Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")

...

appRef.Redraw

Hope this helps!
