There seems to be just three or four active posts per day on average, sometimes just one to two, and even these are oftentimes just bumped old posts. Scripters who were active when I started frequenting this forum during the pandemic seem to have gone for good. Those still around seem to be posting less and less. Has ChatGPT rendered the scripting section no longer useful? Is everything that's possible with Illustrator scripting been done, and there is nothing more to add? Is it the lack of investment in Illustrator scripting? But the main point of this post is to ask if scripters, and people looking for scripting help, have gone elsewhere? I know there is a general "Coding Corner" community, but that seems to be even less active than here.

So the only difference is that iterating and checking layers is no longer required, all the text frames being in one layer in the source (excel data) and target (artwork)? If so, see if this works (I've added two lines, 95 and 96, and commented-out the loop and conditional immediately below): function showDialog() {
var dialog = new Window(
'dialog',
'Copy/Paste Text between Illustrator File(s)'
);
dialog.alignChildren = 'fill';
dialog.alignChildren = 'left';
// Panel for template file selection
var templateFilePanel = dialog.add('panel', undefined, '');
templateFilePanel.add('statictext', undefined, 'Template File:');
templateFilePanel.orientation = 'row';
var templateFilePathInput = templateFilePanel.add('edittext', undefined, '', {
readonly: true
});
templateFilePathInput.size = [302, 20];
var templateFileBrowseBtn = templateFilePanel.add(
'button',
undefined,
'Browse'
);
templateFileBrowseBtn.onClick = function() {
var file = File.openDialog('Select the Template File', '*.ai', false);
if (file) {
templateFilePathInput.text = file.fsName;
}
};
// Panel for data file selection
var dataFilePanel = dialog.add('panel', undefined, '');
dataFilePanel.add('statictext', undefined, 'Data File:');
dataFilePanel.orientation = 'row';
var dataFilePathInput = dataFilePanel.add('edittext', undefined, '', {
readonly: true
});
dataFilePathInput.size = [330, 20];

The spirograph part can be created with a simple script. Select a circle (the count can be changed in the first line): var count = 25;
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var source = doc.selection[0];
var r = source.width / 2;
var first = doc.pathItems.ellipse(source.top - r / 2, source.left, r, r);
first.stroked = true;
first.filled = false;
for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
var duple = first.duplicate();
duple.rotate(360 / count * (i + 1), undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined,
Transformation.RIGHT);
} I can't find a formula for the concentric circles.

Note that "the first selected object" refers to the topmost of the two selected objects. (If this doesn't have a rotation tag, an error will occur.) If you want it the other way around, swap the 0 and 1 in doc.selection[0] and doc.selection[1]. // 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 and second selected objects
var selectedObject1 = doc.selection[0];
var selectedObject2 = doc.selection[1];
// Get the rotation angle of the first selected object
var rotationAngle = selectedObject1.pathItems[0].tags[0].value * 180 / Math.PI;
// 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.");

I think a group doesn't have a BBAccumRotation tag , but paths within a group do. Assuming that paths within a group will have the same tag, you can access the first one (selection[0] is a selected group): alert(app.selection[0].pathItems[0].tags[0].name + ": \
" + app.selection[0].pathItems[0].tags[0].value * 180 / Math.PI); (Courtesy of Silly-V).

Yes, there is a way. How you do it depends on whether "c" is a sublayer or an item (for example, a group item). var doc = app.activeDocument;
var source = doc.layers["Layer 1"];
var goal = doc.layers["Layer 2"];
source.layers["Sublayer"].move(goal, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
source.pageItems["Group"].move(goal, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);

I already had the main part (the part that draws the tiling) from before, so I felt close to the end result. But there was no applicable logic to generate the colors; most of the time was spent inputting the colors by hand. It took just over an hour.

If the purpose is not to save changes to the first file, you can just save a second file under another name. I've added a line (line 46) that adds the word "Copy" to the second file. var w = new Window("dialog", "Choose a Preset");
var dropdownlist = w.add("dropdownlist", undefined, app.PDFPresetsList);
dropdownlist.preferredSize.width = 200;
dropdownlist.selection = 0;
var choice = dropdownlist.selection;
dropdownlist.onChange = function() {
choice = dropdownlist.selection;
};
var button = w.add("button", undefined, "OK");
button.onClick = function() {
saveDocsAsPDF(choice);
w.close();
};
w.show();
function saveDocsAsPDF(choice) {
// original SaveDocsAsPDF script
try {
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var destFolder = null;
destFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select folder for PDF files.', '~');
if (destFolder != null) {
var options, i, sourceDoc, targetFile;
options = getOptions();
for (i = 0; i < app.documents.length; i++) {
sourceDoc = app.documents[i];
targetFile = getTargetFile(sourceDoc.name, '.pdf', destFolder);
sourceDoc.saveAs(targetFile, options);
}
alert('Documents saved as PDF');
}
} else {
throw new Error('There are no document open!');
}
} catch (e) {
alert(e.message, "Script Alert", true);
}
function getOptions() {
var options = new PDFSaveOptions();
options.pDFPreset = choice;
return options;
}
function getTargetFile(docName, ext, destFolder) {
ext = " - Copy" + ext;
var newName = "";
if (docName.indexOf('.') < 0) {
newName = docName + ext;
} else {
var dot = docName.lastIndexOf('.');
newName += docName.substring(0, dot);
newName += ext;
}
var myFile = new File(destFolder + '/' + newName);
if (myFile.open("w")) {
myFile.close();
} else {

It can easily be modified to sort in zOrder. var doc = app.activeDocument;
var paths = doc.pathItems;
var array1 = [];
for (var i = 0; i < paths.length; i++) {
array1.push(paths[i]);
}
array1.sort(function(a, b) {
return b.fillColor.spot.color.black - a.fillColor.spot.color.black;
})
bubbleSort(array1);
function bubbleSort(a){
for (var i = a.length-1; i > 0; i--){
for (var j = 0; j < i; j++){
if (a[j].zOrderPosition > a[j+1].zOrderPosition){
a[j].move(a[j+1], ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER);
}
}
}
}

Here's a simple snippet that sorts paths horizontally based on the black value of the fill. var doc = app.activeDocument;
var paths = doc.pathItems;
var array1 = [];
for (var i = 0; i < paths.length; i++) {
array1.push(paths[i]);
}
array1.sort(function(a, b) {
return b.fillColor.spot.color.black - a.fillColor.spot.color.black;
})
bubbleSort(array1);
function bubbleSort(a){
for (var i = a.length-1; i > 0; i--){
for (var j = 0; j < i; j++){
if (a[j].top > a[j+1].top){
var temp = a[j].top;
a[j].top = a[j+1].top;
a[j+1].top = temp;
}
}
}
}

Sorting shouldn't be a problem. How are you converting a color to grayscale?

As requested, try this for polygons other than rectangles. This should work for the text frame whose centre lies within the path (without depending on the bounding boxes). var doc = app.activeDocument;
var items = doc.pathItems;
var text = doc.textFrames;
for (var i = items.length - 1; i > -1; i--) {
for (var j = text.length - 1; j > -1; j--) {
var textBounds = text[j].geometricBounds;
var centre = [
textBounds[0] + ((textBounds[2] - textBounds[0]) / 2),
textBounds[1] + ((textBounds[3] - textBounds[1]) / 2)
];
if (pointIsInPoly(items[i].pathPoints, centre)) {
items[i].name = text[j].contents;
text[j].remove();
continue;
}
}
}
// Jonas Raoni Soares Silva

function pointIsInPoly(poly, pt){
for(var c = false, i = -1, l = poly.length, j = l - 1; ++i < l; j = i)
((poly[i].anchor[1] <= pt[1] && pt[1] < poly[j].anchor[1]) ||
(poly[j].anchor[1] <= pt[1] && pt[1] < poly[i].anchor[1]))
&&
(pt[0] <
(poly[j].anchor[0] - poly[i].anchor[0]) * (pt[1] - poly[i].anchor[1]) /
(poly[j].anchor[1] - poly[i].anchor[1]) + poly[i].anchor[0])
&&
(c = !c);
return c;

"jntp" is the join type of 0 (0 round, 1 bevel and 2 miter). "mlim" is the miter limit of 4. "ofst" is the offset of 0.283 points (or 0.1 mm); this can be a negative value.
