@m1b I AM SENDING A PDF WITH A MARKING OF WHICH PAGE IS GOOD FOR ME AND WHICH IS BAD (SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH and caps lock) As I wrote earlier, I simply want my script for inserting registration marks to be able to recognize when a given group of objects is rotated 180 degrees relative to another one of the same dimension/size and give it a different number even if the original design was saved outside Illustrator and does not have any metadata. ...

Hi @renél80416020  I need a script not specifically for this object/group of objects. Such groups are very different/have different content.  At first I thought that the script would have to analyze the position of some objects or given points of an object in the group, then compare them to the rest, this is beyond my knowledge and capabilities, besides I do not know if it is not beyond the capabilities of the computer's resources when there are more such objects I am attaching a screen with sample graphics and layout. This is a file from the "client". My task is to assign a number to the whole (three digits at the registration mark) and numbering of each object/group of objects. In case the objects are the same, the numbers should also be the same, but when they are turned 180 degrees, they are not the same elements anymore. Practically 100% of cases are groups. If they are not, I do it manually so that they are. ... View more

I once created a script to insert registration marks into objects. In registration marks each object is numbered. this script is able to distinguish whether an element is the same or not based on its size. When an element is the same but is turned 90 degrees, its size is different (X swapped with Y), so the script knows that these are different elements. I want it to be the same when the object is turned 180 degrees (the script must distinguish these elements not by their size because after turning 180 the size is the same)     ... View more

Hi @femkeblanco ! I have another question. Is it possible to display all the color swatches in the document in a script? For example, after expanding the list, a window with all samples from the active open document/file will be displayed? Such a list can be with names only if it is to be simpler   And one more thing. At the moment the code works so that each item must be in a group for it to insert crosses. Is it possible that if it also selects an element that is not in any group, it will also consider it? EDIT:  I managed to write it with color - I hooked it up to the script so that it doesn't give the color name, just choose from a list. Below is the code that displays all color swatches and displays an alert when a specific color is selected var swatchList = app.activeDocument.swatches; var w = new Window("dialog", "Lista próbek"); var swatchListGroup = w.add("group"); swatchListGroup.orientation = "column"; var swatchDropdownList = swatchListGroup.add("dropdownlist"); for(var i = 0; i < swatchList.length; i++) { swatchDropdownList.add("item", swatchList[i].name); } var selectButton = swatchListGroup.add("button", undefined, "GO!"); selectButton.onClick = function() { var cusColor = swatchDropdownList.selection.text; alert("Color: " + cusColor); } w.show(); ...

Thank you for help. I don't think I can squeeze any more, we did everything I wanted 🙂 A little question from a slightly different topic.   And is it possible to set the color of the created new layer. I noticed that it often creates a yellow color, it is hardly visible and I have to manually change it to any other color. I found some ready command, but it won't cooperate What do I have to enter to make the checkbox checked by default after enabling the script?

I renamed all the variables and it worked! Thank you Now I'm wondering if it is possible (maybe if) for the script to check the size of elements, and if it is smaller than, for example, 400mm, it would not insert crosses at the top and bottom, and if it is larger, it would insert it. I think it should be something like this if (formula to check the height of objects){ draw(y1 + w / 4, x - w / 4, w / 2, x, y1); // top draw(y2 + w / 4, x - w / 4, w / 2, x, y2); // bottom } I guess I'm asking too much :x  ...

Thank you for your help. I want to add what you wrote to the previous code I have, but something is changed and I can't figure out which variables are which. Middle and left and right works, while top and bottom only draw a square       for (var i = 0; i < app.selection.length; i++) { if (app.selection[i].typename == "GroupItem") { var group = layer1.groupItems.add(); var b = app.selection[i].geometricBounds; var y = b[1] + ((b[3] - b[1]) / 2); var x1 = b[0] - gap - w / 2, x2 = b[2] + gap + w / 2; var x = b[0] + ((b[2] - b[0]) / 2); var y1 = b[1] + gap + w / 2, y2 = b[3] - gap - w / 2; function draw(top, left, w, p, p1, p2) { var square = layer1.pathItems.rectangle(top, left, w, w); var l1 = layer1.pathItems.add(); l1.setEntirePath([[p - w, y], [p + w, y]]); var l2 = layer1.pathItems.add(); l2.setEntirePath([[p, y - w], [p, y + w]]); square.stroked = l1.stroked = l2.stroked = true; l2.strokeWidth = l1.strokeWidth = square.strokeWidth = weight; l2.strokeColor = l1.strokeColor = square.strokeColor = color; l1.strokeOverprint = l2.strokeOverprint = square.strokeOverprint = l2.fillOverprint = l1.fillOverprint = true; square.filled = l2.filled = l1.filled = false; square.moveToEnd(group); l1.moveToEnd(group); l2.moveToEnd(group); } draw(y + w / 4, x1 - w / 4, w / 2, x1); // L draw(y + w / 4, x2 - w / 4, w / 2, x2); // R if (srodek.value == true){ draw(y + w / 4, x - w / 4, w / 2, x, y); // centre draw(y1 + w / 4, x - w / 4, w / 2, x, y1); // top draw(y2 + w / 4, x - w / 4, w / 2, x, y2); // bottom } //TEXT function comp(p, content) { var t = layer1.textFrames.pointText([x2 + w / 2, y + p]); t.contents = content; t.textRange.textFont = app.textFonts["MyriadPro-Regular"]; t.textRange.fillColor = color; t.textRange.overprintFill = true; t.moveToEnd(group); } comp(w / 4, input.text); //number if (ifnumber.value == false){ comp(- w * 3 /4, counter.text); counter.text++; } } }     ...

I have already dealt with the overprint and wrote exactly as you 🙂 As for the outline, adding what you wrote seems to have solved the problem. Thank you for help. I added a bit more to the code, added the input from which number the elements should be counted, and if I want them in the color of the additional sample, I give the name (if not, they should be black) - I'm just wondering if it can be better solved Would you be able to give me a skeleton code for drawing crosses to add them also centrally in the middle (vertical and horizontal), and at the top and bottom at 7mm distance from the object? More specifically, it's about adding a cross - a cross in the center of X and Y in line with those on the sides (as an if option, but I can handle it) - two crosses in the X axis in the center of the object, and Y at the top at a distance of 7mm from the object, and at the bottom ...

I apologize in advance for so many posts. I'll try to include everything here. So... I extended the script with a pop-up window etc. Below it is attached. The problem is that with groups with more elements, the crosses are drawn without any outline (I attached the screen in the above post) I noticed that sometimes, despite the set thickness of 0.25mm, it will give an outline with a thickness of 1pt, or it will not make it at all. I would also like them to have the overprint fill attribute and the overprint outline turned on     ... View more

Thank you again for your help! you are great 1. yes, there should be one and the same number in the entire document, but each time the script is run, it wants to enter this number (because each project has a different number). 2. yes, it's supposed to be the number of objects. Each object should be numbered from 1 3. Myriad Pro.

I'm going for the sun, but I decided to rebuild the script into a separate window where I enter all the input. For now, I've built a skeleton, but I have a problem with it, that whatever I write in the file name, it saves with the name [object Textedit] The end of the script is practically 1/1 of what you wrote and I know that it needs to be written differently, but I have no idea how. I tried a lot of things but the effect is that it either doesn't save the files at all or it saves with the name [object EditText] Could you refactor it so that it works? I immediately say that probably a lot of things may not be needed, but I'm just learning js #target illustrator if (app.documents.length > 0) { var doc = activeDocument; var selectedItems = parseInt(doc.selection.length, 5) || 0; } (function(){ var win = new Window('dialog'); function getDocName(doc) { var name = decodeURI(doc.name); var lastDot = name.lastIndexOf('.'); if (lastDot > -1) return name.slice(0, lastDot); return name; } var namePnl = win.add('panel', undefined, 'NAZWA PLIKU'); namePnl.orientation = 'row'; var namePrefix = win.add('edittext', undefined, fileName); namePrefix.characters = 20; fileName = getDocName(doc); var patka = txtgroup(win, 'text', 'tu wpisz'); var units = win.add("checkbox", undefined, undefined, { name: "units" }); units.text = "button"; units.onClick = function () { restoreDefaultsButton.enabled = true; units.active = true; units.active = false; } var grp = win.add('group'); var ok = grp.add('button {text: "OK"}'); grp.add('button {text: "Cancel"}'); var by = win.add('group'); by.add('statictext {text: "Save AS NEW"}'); var version = win.add('group'); version.add('statictext {text: "v0.0.1"}'); var doDraw = function(){ draw(); win.close(0); } ok.onClick = doDraw; win.show(); function txtgroup(win, name ,txt) { var grp = win.add('group'); grp.add('statictext {text: "'+name+': "}'); var item = grp.add('edittext {characters: 12, active: true}'); item.text = txt; return item; } function draw(){ var myDoc = app.activeDocument; grp = myDoc.groupItems.add(); grp.name = 'dieline'; var file1 = new File(app.activeDocument.path + "/" + namePrefix); var AI = new IllustratorSaveOptions(); AI.compatibility = Compatibility.ILLUSTRATOR16; var PDF = new PDFSaveOptions(); doc.saveAs(file1, AI); doc.saveAs(file1, PDF); return grp; } })();     ...
