Hi, thank you for the series of illustrator scripting tutorial videos. It's a life saver for understanding everything behind the scene. And, I wonder if it is possible for use to can create/modified charts that created in the illustrator? I have search through the internet, and it seems to be no such option if you do need to do automation on this. Thank you for the help in advance!
Brilliant tutorial. I may try some of this out. Hopefully, I don't do any damage to my computer or Illustrator functionality! =) I work in the graphics dept. of a company that specializes in trade shows. We work with Illustrator and Adobe Acrobat on a daily basis. The Acrobat files have line drawings and panel specs in them. We have to tediously type panel dimensions into our Illustrator file (or copy and paste). What I would like to do (or have someone else with coding experience) do, is to bring boxes into Illustrator according to their specified dimensions into my Illustrator file. So, in the end, my Illustrator file will have several boxes according to their sizes, including dimensions next to each one, along with the substrate, and quantity. Does this sound like something that can be done, or is it just wishful thinking? Thank you, Liked and Subbed!
Thank you for the video, will wait for more) Unfortunately, there almost no tutorials about scripting for AI. I'm not sure whether anyone can answer this question, but is there any way to restrict brush strokes to a specific vector? I know we can restrict strokes by 45 deg. by holding SHIFT. It'd be cool to be able to restrict strokes to custom vectors. Is there s scripting API for such restriction? I'm a newbie in scripting for AI, I've looked through the Scripting Reference, but haven't found the solution...
@@NTProductions hehe, think they're taking the piss if its the character I'm guessing. Anyhow good video man, finally see how its meant to flow. Really helped get me unstuck.
not to excel but you can write to csv. Check this tut where NT saves to JSON, you'll need to save as comma separated text instead. th-cam.com/video/gGFjkzX6y6g/w-d-xo.html
I am a designer who does not know scripting and do not have time while at work to learn this skill right now. I have learned how to use Actions to make repetitive tasks easier, but I have to resize my artboard, sometimes dozens of files a day(one at a time), to 8.33"W x 3"H to create proofs for customers. Is there somewhere I can go to have someone write one for me, for a reasonable price if required?
UPDATE: With the help from another TH-camr, I was able to create an action that draws a rectangle the size I need then convert that to an artboard. Not the ideal way to do it, but I figured it out. Thank you very much for your videos!!!
please do you know a way to make a script closes with a mouse click outside the script window, I searched and I can't make it work with addEventListener()
You say its how to begin, but wow just a few mins in totally lost... anything but easy by the looks of it... isn't there any drag & drop script editor tool?
I'm working with the version 23.0.1(64-bit) And I get Stocked creating the layers names. Check out the print screen: prnt.sc/tv9doy ¿What I'm doing wrong?

You just need a script to resize your artboard?
@@NTProductions yes

please do you know a way to make a script closes with a mouse click outside the script window, I searched and I can't make it work with addEventListener()
Just add an event listener to your window, and if you click outside of the .position of the UI, close the script
@@NTProductions
the event listener is 'click', ok but how I define the .position condition with click event
thank you very much

How to make a plugin or script in C++?
Watch my videos on it
@@NTProductionsI would like to see an example of creating a simple plugin for Adobe Illustrator with a GUI interface in C++
Which program do you use to program the script?
ExtendScript
@@NTProductions Thanks for the quick reply.Can I also name layers with the help of a script?
You say its how to begin, but wow just a few mins in totally lost... anything but easy by the looks of it... isn't there any drag & drop script editor tool?
Hello don.t find the script editor for illustrator
You can use extend script from the Adobe creative cloud or VSCode
@@NTProductions and then do I need to connect with my illustrator ?
Thanks for your help btw
@@hakimabelbenyoucef4141 yeah both of those have the capability to connect to Adobe programs!
