!! Awesome! That works great! Thank you so much. This will save me time as this is a often repeated step in a production path for fabric panels I deal with all day =] One last thing... I noticed that the second object, after being rotated, does not show a rotation value in the properties panel. I usually use this to set the rotation back to zero after applying some other processes to that object. Any idea how to apply the rotation so that it shows as a property?

Great! That seems to return a proper value... Would you be so super kind as to help with the rest of the script? I'm a total scripting hack and while I can generally read what's going on I'm having a hard time getting it to work. This is what I was dealing with previously from ChatGPT: // Check if a document is open in Illustrator
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
// Get the active document
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// Check if exactly two objects are selected
if (doc.selection.length == 2) {
// Get the first selected object
var selectedObject1 = doc.selection[0];
// Get the rotation angle of the first selected object
var rotationAngle = selectedObject1.rotation;
// Get the second selected object
var selectedObject2 = doc.selection[1];
// Apply opposite rotation angle to the second selected object
selectedObject2.rotate(-rotationAngle);
} else {
alert("Please select exactly two objects in Illustrator.");
}
} else {
alert("Please open a document in Illustrator.");
} That's the jist of what I'm trying to do. Much appreciated!

How do I access the rotation angle of an object, specifically a group, via script? I've tried BBAccumRotation tag and selectedObject.rotation, but I keep getting errors. I know the value exists in Illustrator as shown in the Properties tab: I'm trying to write a script that take the rotation value of a selected object and applies the negative of that value to the second selected object. All help appreciated. Thanks!

Yup. Still waiting. I have a 350 page book revision we are waiting on until this gets fixed because the time overhead isn't worth it.

This one is driving me NUTS. I do this action many times a day in my workflow and it seems to have been reintroduced recently since I updgraded to Monterey. Wasn't happening on my previous install.

Also realized I had extra if statement in there... but still get error when using as Action. if (app.activeDocument.layers.length > 1) {
for (var i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.layers.length; i++) //loop through all TOP LEVEL layers
{
app.activeDocument.layers[i].hasSelectedArtwork = true; //selects all in active layer
app.executeMenuCommand('group'); //groups all selected
app.activeDocument.selection = null; //deselect
}
} else {
alert("The active document only has only 1 layer");
}

Here's an interesting catch with this script... if I run it from the File->Scripts menu item... all is well. If I make an Action that runs that same menu item... I get an error dialoge, then another saying the "deselect" line throws the error. Can anyone explain this?

The above didn't work for me, so I hacked this together from a few different references. I'm SURE it needs variables etc to clean up, as I'm only a hack coder, but this works for me: if (app.documents.length > 0) {
if (app.activeDocument.layers.length > 1) {
for (var i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.layers.length; i++) //loop through all TOP LEVEL layers
{
app.activeDocument.layers[i].hasSelectedArtwork = true; //selects all in active layer
app.executeMenuCommand('group'); //groups all selected
app.activeDocument.selection = null; //deselect
}
} else {
alert("The active document only has only 1 layer");
}
}

YES!!! This solved my issues with the latest Classic import stalling... wasted an entire day on this until I found this thread... then had to find a current download since you can no longer go back to CC in the Creative Cloud app. https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-lightroom-6-cc-direct-download-links.html was where I found the direct link: https://prodesigntools.com/prdl-download/Lightroom/60BA1251F1BC48B8B82B1B63AE8E620E/1552642986882/Lightroom_6_LS11.dmg. If this is a known problem why not fix the plug-in??

Same issue here with crashing upon opening preferences, on a Mac with OS X 10.10.5. In my case resetting the preferences worked: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) while the application is starting.
