CHAPTER 3: Scripting Illustrator Working with objects 29

VBScript

To refer to a path items object in a document:

Documents(1).PathItems(1)

To refer to a path items object in a layer:

Documents(1).Layers(1).PathItems(1)

For more examples of collection-item containers, see the document object Elements table in Adobe

Illustrator CS5 Scripting Reference: AppleScript or the Properties table in Adobe Illustrator CS5 Scripting

Reference: JavaScript or Adobe Illustrator CS5 Scripting Reference: VBScript. A diagram of the Illustrator CS5

object model is in “

The Illustrator Scripting Object Model” on page 18.

Selected objects

Sometimes, you want to write scripts that act on the currently selected object or objects. For example, you

might want to apply formatting to selected text or change a selected path’s shape.

Selecting text

To select text, use the select command or method of the text range object.

Selecting art items

You can select an art object (like graph items, mesh items, raster items, and symbol items) by setting its

selected property to true. (In AppleScript, selected is a property of the page items object.)

Referring to selected art items

To refer to all currently selected objects in a document, use the document object’s selection property. To

work with the objects in the selection array, you must determine their type, so you will know which

properties and methods or commands you can use with them. In JavaScript and VBScript, each artwork

object type has a read-only

typename property that you can use to determine the object’s type. In

AppleScript, use the

class property.

Notes on renaming objects stored in the application’s panels

Several objects can be renamed; that is, their name property is writeable. The following types of objects can

be sorted alphabetically in the corresponding Illustrator panel. If a script modifies the name of such an

object, references to that object by index can become invalid.

Brush

Gradient

Graphic Style

Pattern

Swatch
