Bulk Swatch Changing

I hope I describe this right - I have a document, and have a large list of swatches (some global colors, some patterns)  I would like to know if I can save multiple variations for different color libraries, and somehow apply them when needed.
I currently only know how to replace them one by one, merging or adding a duplicate swatch doesn't do what I need it to when I load a swatch library with the exact names, but different colors. 
I am hoping there is a quick way to load it into my  document, instead of dragging and dropping each one... so I can open document, which is currently using color library A, but open color library B and replace the similarly named swatches with the colors/patterns of library B onto the original color library within the document (A)
Thanks!

I have only been using Illustrator for a week or so... so I could be wrong, but I dont believe this is what I am looking for... For example, a certain group of objects in one design have a green fabric pattern swatch, in another, it will be a solid color, in another, it may be a polka dot pattern.... the recolor seems to only recolor the existing objects, and existing patterns, and won't necessarily replace the pattern, or remove it.... which is why I was looking for a complete swatch library replacement...
Again, I am new at this program, so I am sorry if this is an obvious answer...  the illustration I am using has maybe 25 Swatches, most solids, but maybe 6 have patterns, but sometimes it will be more sometimes less... Instead of saving multiple illustrations, I was hoping just to be able to save the swatch libraries - and use those when I am printing my work...
Thanks for the help!

  • Deleting unused swatches change the gradient

    Hi All,
    I have tried this Javascript to remove unused swatches in a document (Indesign CS4). It did remove all the unused swatches but it changed the used gradient color into black color and still has the gradient property but couldn't change any color values for that particular gradient after running the script.
    #target indesign
    var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var myUnusedSwatches = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches;
    for (var j=myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches.length; j > 0; j--)
      myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches[j-1].remove();
    Please advise me where I did wrong and also please suggest the right solution for this.

    Hi Friends
    Use this script it will help ful.
    # target "Deleting unused swatches change the gradient"
    var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var myUnusedSwatches = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches;
    for (var s = myUnusedSwatches.length-1; s >= 0; s--) {
         var mySwatch = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches[s];
         var name = mySwatch.name;
    // alert (name);
      if (name != ""){
    mySwatch.remove();

  • Illustrator CS6, CC, "CC 2014" not honoring a 100% Cyan Spot Color Swatch change.

    Why does Illustrator CS6, CC, "CC 2014" not honor a "100% Cyan Spot Color Swatch" changing the % value in the Color Pallet.
    I create 3 different Spot Color Swatches of 100% Cyan, 100% Magenta and 100% Yellow in the Swatch pallet.
    Then I fill 3 different squares with one of each Swatch and put the Fill to 70% on all in the Color Pallet.
    Now I try to change each square back to 100% value in the Color Pallet by typing a number into the Percent Field.
    But the Cyan Spot Color does not honor the entry, the Yellow and Magenta are fine.
    Has anyone seen this behavior before, and what can be done to resolve it?
    Thanks,
    J

    I would report this as a bug, you can use the slider to set it to 100%, but not enter that value by  typing. Strange.

  • Color Swatch changes when opened in Photoshop CC 2014

    I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this, here is the scenario:
    I create a CMYK color swatch in Kuler and save the swatch, download it as a .ase file, and then load the swatch in Photoshop CC 2014. 
    When the swatch is loaded all of the colors are lighter than the colors in my kuler swatch.
    The below image shows the top kuler swatch, and the colors that were imported once loaded in Photoshop.
    TOP: screenshot of my kuler swatch from the kuler website
    BOTTOM: screenshot of the colors from my swatch once imported into Photoshop CC 2014
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
    Thanks!

    That's because color management is different in Kuler and PS.  The good news is that Kuler Panel is now available for PS 2014 at  https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/2507
    You can directly set active color from this panel or include the whole theme into the swatches panel without change in appearance.

  • CMYK swatches change values

    I'm trying to create a swatch set that includes my RGB (Hex), CMYK, and Pantone values for each brand I set up. But any swatch sets I create get corrupted (all CMYK values change) as soon as I save, then load them into a new document. I need a fix for this, or there's no point in ever creating swatch sets.

    You asked:
    "Is there a way to create a single swatch set that lists the RGB, CMYK, and Pantone so that I can bring it into ANY document color mode?"
    No.
    RGB and CMYK values are device dependent, which means that specific CMYK or RGB values can give you a different colour, depending on the device (monitor, printing press/ink/paper combination) that is used.
    Read about Color Management in this (old) document.

  • Illustrator CS6 to CC Swatch change

    My question: I upgraded from CS6 to CC for Illustrator. All the swatch libraries I created are now several tones darker. Is there a way to brighten them all at once, or revert them to how they were before, without manually going in and changing each and every individual swatch?

    They seem to be identical as well :/

  • Bulk Subscription Change or Place on Hold

    I am using SSRS 2005 and SSRS 2008 R2, both Standard edition.  On a monthly basis, I have to change 4 reports that each have 50+ subscriptions.  Each of these subscriptions run on the same day, but at different times and with different
    input parameters.  I would like to write code that would allow me to bulk change the date on which the reports would run - as this is the only consistent aspect of the subscription (and the only piece that changes).  Currently, I open each individual
    subscription on our SSRS Reporting Services website and make the changes there - this takes an incredibly long time.  I believe that I have found the database tables within the ReportServer and MSDB databases that I would need to change, however,
    my question is, by writing a stored procedure to update these tables manually, will I void any warranty that I may have on my SQL server or render our databases unsupported?  Is there a better way to make bulk changes to the date portion of the subscriptions,
    given that the time and input parameters differ?  Please keep in mind that I am relatively new to this aspect of SSRS.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Alternatively, I also have a need to be able to put all of the reports that are scheduled to run on a Monday on hold (only when needed).  I have also found the proper place on the ReportServer to make this bulk update, but I want to make sure that
    I won't be doing more harm than good.  Any help here would also be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time!

  • LMS 4.2 Config Editor bulk config change

    I have about 1400 devices in LMS for this one customer.
    They have 1200+ IOS devices
    200 + catos devices
    my problem is we use 2 differnt change scripts in Config Editor for IOS and CATOS. I have a list of all of the IOS and CATOS devises in txt format.
    Is there some magical way to just upload the txt files into Ciscoworks instead of searching for them during the Config Editor batch job creator?  I find it takes hours to sort this batch job out

    i have seen this with SNMP timeout needed to be increased.
    please try to increase those values, and not the job completion values.
    I just saw in CP LMS 4.2 that the values are assembled on a new page.
    all of them ...
    Admin > Network > Timeout and Retry Settings > Inventory/Config Timeout and Retry Settings
    also in the navigator of the same last windows your screenshot is from try the device specific timeouts:

  • BULK Greeting Change in Unity Connection 8.6 and higher

    In Cisco Unity Connection can you have the same voicemail greeting on 330 different voice mail boxes?  These are for stores  and if the store main number is busy or not answered it will got to voicemail
    Each of the voicemail box then emails the voicemail as attachment to voicemail box owner?

    Hi Anirudh,
    I am not clear on what you mean by this sentence:
    Each extension in the 330 sites will be unique and the same extension can be used for the user on Unity  - a total of 330 users on Unity.
    The Callflow we need looks like this.

  • Proper way to make bulk changes the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions, ExtensionSettings

    We are going through with an upgrade/migration to SSRS 2012 and moving everything to a different domain. We have about 200 active subscriptions running, the reports are being delivered to a file share.  What is the correct way, in bulk, to change
    the OwnerId, the Path and the FileShare Username password credentials for these subscriptions?  I see these values are being stored in Subscriptions > ExtensionSettings.  I see that the file share path and Owner wouldn't be a problem to change,
    but since I see the file share credentials are encrypted I would not be able change them directly in ExtensionSettings.  Anyone know the proper way to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions without having to
    change each one of them manually in the report manager?
    Note: Reporting Services Native upgrade from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Cygnus46,
    Based on my understanding, you want to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for all existing subscriptions.
    In Reporting Services, the subscription information are stored in the Report Server database. In your scenario, you can go to report server database and run the query to list all the subscriptions, then modify the owner and fileshare paths in the subscriptions
    table. For more information, please refer to this article: Tip: Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription. If you want to change
    the file share credentials for subscriptions, you can run the query provided by
    wiperzeus from this similar thread:
    Windows File Share Delivery/ SSRS 2008 R2.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Changing a global swatch

    We've purchased an eps file that claims that you can change the global swatch settings, but when I double click the swatch and change the color - it doesn't change anything.  If I cursor over the entire art and double click the swatch to make the change, it changes the entire art to a single color.  This art has hundreds of sections within it - with lots of various gradients in it.  If I choose a single layer to change the colors in the gradient - I can't get the gradient colors to show up, nor can I even get it to change over to the standard black and white gradient.  So, I don't know what to do here.  Am I doing something wrong here in making the global swatch change?  If I didn't know better, I'd say that the art has been completely divided.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    This is from iStock and claims within a note on site that it is set up with a Global Swatch. 
    The blue swatch in the pic you are talking about may have been one that I adjusted in an earlier attempt to change out the swatch color, but had no effect... I'm assuming that is the case.
    Otherwise, I can't even understand why the eyedropper doesn't recognize a color in the gradient...
    It's looking this will have to returned.

  • AUTOMATION: Changing Swatch Values

    Hello forum,
    I am wondering if there is a way, in Illustrator CS2, to
    automatically change the CMYK values of named (spot color) swatches in the palette of an open AI file (I am running under Windows OS).
    I would like to be able to choose from a predefined series of color schemes the color combination desired for the working file and have the CMYK value of the named spot color swatches changed to coincide with the selected combination (as opposed to manually selecting each swatch and entering the CMYK values).
    The predefined color schemes file would need to be able to be manually modified as well.
    I hope my description makes sense, hehe. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mason

    I've done it with AI 10 on Wondows OS. It should be true with CS2.

  • NAC appliance: Bulk selections in one action?

    I'm setting up multiple profiles on the Clean Access Manager but I now need to select many (100+) plugins per user role and also change the 'vulnerable if' settings.
    Is there a way to make a bulk of changes at once (ie: not clicking all plugins but a single (...) action)?
    Or is there a 'best practice' in which only a few selected plugins are used?
    Grtz, Joost

    To my knowledege, it is not possible to select all the plugins and make in one action. No other way, you have to select the plugins to narrow down and take the action.
