JS: Text StrokeWeight

[eboda_snaf]

How to get the Text's StrokeWeight value in the TextFrame (not refering to the Frame stroke weight)

Please help... Thank you very much.

Hi,

those are quite normal properties in the text suite:

//select some text

with(app.selection[0]){

strokeAlignment    =  TextStrokeAlign.CENTER_ALIGNMENT;//TextStrokeAlign.OUTSIDE_ALIGNMENT

strokeColor     = 'C=75 M=5 Y=100 K=0';

strokeWeight    = '1 pt'

        }

Hope it'll work

Thanks for the reply.

i don't mean to set the text strokeWeight style in the document, but am trying to use a script to find out the text's stroke properties on page.

to be more specific, i'm trying to use JS to find out a particular (selected) text's stroke weight and it's color.

Thanks

Be sure to select text with equal formatting.

//ID CS 5.5

var strokeMeasurementUnit = app.viewPreferences.strokeMeasurementUnits.toString();

var mySel = app.selection[0];

alert('Strokecolourname: ' + mySel.strokeColor.name + ' \n '    + 'Strokeweight: ' + mySel.strokeWeight + ' ' + strokeMeasurementUnit)

Thanks so much

app.selection[0].strokeWeight                    //Stroke weight of the text

app.selection[0].strokeColor.colorValue     //Stroke Color of the text

Code is based on the premise that the selection is on a text.
