Bonjour Rob, Il faut copier le texte dans un éditeur de texte et l'enregistrer avec l'extension .js ou .jsx Ce doit être du texte pure qui sera interprété par Illustrator au lancement du script.

Bonjour, J'ai essayé d'imaginer un scénario simple pour "enregistrer un symbole qui passe automatiquement à la valeur numérique suivante". Le principe repose sur une sélection dont l'ordre déterminera la numérotation. La numérotation démarre à l'opposé objet situé en arrière plan (index de départ variable "deb" zone INIT du script). Pour le test, il existe deux modes de sélection  a et B. Les objets sélectionnés seront remplacés chacun par une instance d'un nouveau symbole  indexé, si le premier objet de la sélection est une instance de symbole (mode A), ce symbole devient l'élément de référence, peu importe son nom si non l'élément de référence sera un symbole existant de nom "test" (mode B) valeur par défaut (variable symbolRefName) Un nouveau symbole indexé est créé seulement si celui ci n’existe pas. Remarque: Les instances du symboles indexés adoptent la position de l'objet sélectionné [left,top], elle ne sont pas redimensionnées. Leur nom correspond au nom de l'élément de référence plus un espace suivi de l'index (test 1, test 2...)   Avant de lancer le test, vous devrez créer un symbole sensiblement identique à "test", et en créer un autre par exemple en remplaçant le cercle par un carré (deux tracés: un trait fléché et un cercle au premier plan, puis grouper l'ensemble ou non). Attention! Il faut impérativement nommer le container (l'élément qui reçoit l'index) par défaut "c" (variable contName). Il est bien sur possible d'aller plus loin ou d'envisager d'autres approches... René // INIT -------------------- var symbolRefName = "test"; // Name of the reference symbol var deb = 1; // Starting index of the number to be placed in the symbols var contName = "c"; // Container Name //-------------------------- Un autre exemple pour s'amuser un peu... Je veux placer des pions numérotés sur un damier. Outil Grille (6x6) PathFinder > Division Objet >dissocier  Symbole nommé "test" un seul tracé cercle nommé "c" Zut c'est le désordre! c'est vraiment pas ce que je voulais.

Hi @TestriteVisual, yes you need all the functions to make this work. Also see updated script where I fixed a bug that René noticed.   But, like @renél80416020, I'm confused about what you are actually doing. If you want to go deeper here, please explain in detail your starting conditions and what you are trying to do. Why do you talk about path finder? Why not just draw the path(s) you want? And what does SVG have to do with it? Why not draw paths normally using pathItems.add and pathPoints.add? It is hard to give sensible answers when we have no idea of what you are doing and why you choose a difficult way. - Mark ... View more

In a "dialog" type window and redraw() the width changes are instantaneous, that's what I wanted. In a "palette" window, you probably have to send the code over bridgeTalk, and that slows things down.   var dep = 100; var mm = new UnitValue(1 + " " + "mm").as('pt'); var doc = app.activeDocument; var rec = doc.pathItems.rectangle(0,0,dep*mm,dep*mm); app.redraw(); var p = new Window("dialog"); p.text = "rectangle"; p.alignChildren = ["center","top"]; p.spacing = 10; p.margins = 16; var g1 = p.add("group", undefined, {name: "g1"}); g1.orientation = "row"; g1.alignChildren = ["left","center"]; g1.spacing = 10; g1.margins = 0; var st1 = g1.add("statictext", undefined, undefined, {name: "st1"}); st1.text = "W:"; var st2 = g1.add("statictext", undefined, undefined, {name: "st2"}); st2.text = dep; var b1 = g1.add("button", undefined, undefined, {name: "b1"}); b1.text = "-"; b1.preferredSize.width = 50; var b2 = g1.add("button", undefined, undefined, {name: "b2"}); b2.text = "+"; b2.preferredSize.width = 50; b1.onClick = function() { dep--; st2.text = dep; rec.width = dep*mm; redraw(); }; b2.onClick = function() { dep++; st2.text = dep; rec.width = dep*mm; redraw(); }; p.show();     ...

If those layers are missing, wouldn't you just want to exit the larger script so it can be fixed, then execute the script again? Could you integrate what you have at the beginning of the script to exit out?  Edit: For some reason, replies hadn't shown up when I replied to this.  ... View more

Thanks so much for this! I've been using illustrator for a bit of CNC vector work and some of the linework I've been generating has been totally random.

Bonjour Beff, Comme le précise M1b, la position du texte par rapport au tracé n'est pas toujours facile à prévoir. Ce qu'il faut savoir: Par défaut, le point de départ du texte est situé sur le point p0 (début du tracé) et aligné à gauche. Le texte est situé au dessus du tracé si le sens est positif (polarité), tu peux facilement inverser le sens du tracé en pointant l’outil plume sur le point p0 avant l’exécution du script. Ou après en faisant basculer le crochet central de l’autre coté du tracé, le sens du tracé se trouve ainsi inversé (basculement symétrique). René       ... View more

Hello @CarlosCanto could you help me clarify here ?  "the scripts run automatically when you launch Illustrator and each time you run a script."  so yes of course the startup script will pop up when I run another script  Can we prevent this from happening?
