Hello everyone
I need help updating a script they wrote to me:
I have a document with 3 shapes that each have a line with a different spot color:
1. Cut contour
2. Big
3. Pnimi
The script is like this:
I need the computer to recognize the spots
and will turn them into spot colors with the following values:
CutContour = R=255 G=0 B=0
Big = R=0 G=255 B=0
Pnimi = R=0 G=0 B=255
After that, will move all the lines to a new layer.
The script:
