Accessing Swatches from library

Hi,
I am creating a rectangle with VBscript and AI cs3
Set rectPath = pathItemsRef.Rectangle(300,10 , 100, 100)
and filling its color with swatch name as
rectPath.FillColor = garmentDoc.Swatches("Offset Squares Pattern").Color
and is working fine.
Now my issue how to access a swatch from library items I have created my own swatches and save it in library name say "Animal" in this library there is a swatch name say "Cheetah" can anyone help me out in accessing this swatch from library with VBscript.
Thanks
Girish

Upon investigating this further at my end, we found the issue was that I had created the rectangles in the source Muse file with custom colors - but DID NOT have those colors in the swatches panel. That caused the swatches to be not exported with the MULIB.
Once I created swatches for my custom colors in the source Muse file and then exported rectangles with those color fills via Library, I was able to see the swatches added to my target Muse installation upon importing the MULIB.
Let me know if your issue is similar. Also share the exact steps that you are following if your case is different.
Cheers,

  • Exporting and adding swatches from library

    Good Afternoon,
    I followed the tutorial at the below URL on creating your own customized swatches within your saved library and then adding them to your new site.  After adding them to the new site, they should automatically appear in the swatch window, however they are not showing up, can you please assist?

  • How do I share the Photo Library on my desktop with another User. I have Apoerture set up on my wife's user account but cannot figure out how to access the photo library from her desktop.

    I just got a new IMac. I transferred all the photos from our old PC to the Aperture Library on my User account. My wife is set up as another User. She can access Aperture from her User account but there are no photos in the Library. How can I share or giver her access to the photos so that she can work with them on Aperture from her User account?

    Move the Aperture library to separate disk or disk partition with plenty of space for all your photos. On a separate disk or partition it will be possible to set the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then two users can write to the same Aperture library without permission problems.
    The procedure is describe here for iPhoto libraries, but this will work for Aperture libraries as well:

    If you want to use a drive for your Aperture library, that has been used with a PC, format it for Mac, before you move the Aperture library there. This can be done with Disk Utility.

  • Can I access my itunes library from a different apple tv

    Can I access my itunes library through my parents apple tv? I would like to show them photos from my library.

    Not unless the iTunes library is on your parent's local network.
    If it is, then configure iTunes and AppleTV to use the same Home Sharing Credentials, and set up Photos to Share under the iTunes Advanced tab.

  • Iphoto library on external hard drive now does not show all the photos when i access it from macbook

    i backed up iphoto library to an external hard drive.  Deleted photo library on the macbook.  After transferring some new photos to macbook from a camera, when i access the iphoto library on external hard drive only the new photos show up.  Originals are still in files, but don't appear when opening iphoto library on external hard drive.

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    All of your computers content are available in the AppleTV section called "Computer".  This is where you will find your music.
    The Music section of the AppleTV is only for those who subscribed to iTunes Match.

  • "Check that you have permission to write to the library directory." I had this error pop up when trying to access a iPhoto Library from Finder.

    The error, "Check that you have permission to write to the library directory." Displayed after trying to access a iPhoto Library from finder. The file is located on the local hard drive and was accessed not 5 minutes before the error displayed. Upon searching the forums I found a similar problem and the instructions said to check a permission box in the "Get Info" tab. There was no box visible and after clicking the arrow to open the "Open With" tab, the rainbow wheel started to spin and I could no longer access Finder or the desktop. I was deleting files trying to make space on my hard drive and noticed as I was deleting files more data was being added to the iPhoto Library. My question is how can I fix this and how can I prevent this in the future, thank you very much for any help, I would really like to keep these pictures.

    I found a similar problem and the instructions said to check a permission box in the "Get Info" tab.
    This applies only when the Library is on an external drive. You cannot ignore permissions on the system drive.
    I was deleting files trying to make space on my hard drive
    What were you deleting?
    and noticed as I was deleting files more data was being added to the iPhoto Library.
    Hard to see how deleting files can add data to the iPhoto Library. Can you explain why you thought this?
    I would really like to keep these pictures.
    Make a back up now.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Why can't   i access my itunes library from anywhere?

    Why can't I access all of my iTunes library when I am of at home connected to wifi.. The whole reason I bought iTunes Match was do I could access my entire library from anywhere?

    On iTunes using your computer have you completed the iTunes Match 3-step process?
    If so, within Song view you can enable a field called iCloud status - sorting Songs on this field will show what is available from the cloud.
    It sounds like all you need to do is to enable mobile internet on your iPhone to allow access over 3G as well as WiFi.

  • Why can't i access my iPhoto library from my epson application

    why can't I access my iphoto library fron my epson aplication

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • HT1589 I moved my media to an external drive so that I can access it from either of 2 computers. I can't seem to get my whole list in the library of the second computer. How do I get this reconnected?

    I moved my itu nes media to an external drive so that I can access it from either of 2 computers. Now I can't see all my music in the library of the second computer. I was able to add 1 file to the library, but that will be exceedingly tedious to do for the whole list. There must be a better way.

    File Add Folder to Library, and point it to the top folder on the external.  That will cause iTunes to add all the files to the library.

  • Can't access photos and videos from Library for uploading to net or iMovie

    I've been downloading my pics from my Nikon L18 for the last 6 months but cannot access them from the library itself; for instance if I'm trying to upload a pic onto Facebook or trying to import my videos into iMovie. When I'm in iPhoto I can see the pics through my albums, but they won't show up under Events or Library. Am I importing something incorrectly?

    If you can see photos in an Album then they are in the Library. Events and Photos are just different ways of viewing the Library. It’s simply not possible to see pics in an Album that are not in a Library.
    Or are you trying to access files in the Finder?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
