Is it possible to do a batch in Illustrator?

Hi everyone!
Do you know by any chance if it's possible to do a batch in Illustrator as you do in Photoshop? I can't find any Actions scripts similar to Photoshop but maybe it's just because it's not possible!
Thanks for your help!
Marie

There is a Batch feature in the Actions Palette. See online Help for Actions.
Beyond that, it depends on what exactly you want to automate. Not every command in the program is accessible by Actions (or scripting).

You draw them manually. There is no built-in functionality. AI simply sucks for any kind of diagrams.

Possible to do make Batch Sequence Searchable by date?

I want to know if it is possible to edit/create new script to Edit Batch Sequence - Searchable, recognize text Using OCR, but to only do it for a date range? How would I go about doing this.
Right now it takes multiple screens and clicks to make documents searchable, I would like to create a script that tells you the last time you did a batch searchable request, allows you to select a date range, folder would ideally be built in - so I do not have to select it everytime and then on selection of date range, it runs and completes the request. Is this possible? Where do I start?
Thanks,

Date of what? Do you mean the file's creation date?
If so, that's not possible. You can access the file's creation date in a script, but a script can't OCR a file.
The best way would be to create an input folder and paste into it the files you want to OCR.

Goods Receipt DTW - Possible to update existing batch details?

Hello experts,
Using the three templates OIGE, IGE1, and BTNT I've managed to perform some Inventory Adjustments BY BATCH using DTW.
The issue I am having is that some of the fields in BTNT are not updating in SAP despite a successful DTW instance depending on whether the batchnumber is pre-existing or is new.
If the batch already exists, quantities are being receiving as expected but additional data such as "Notes", "InternalSerialNumber", and even some user-defined fields we have created for Appearance, Inventory Tag Number, etc. will not update. I have checked DTW mapping and it is setup correctly.
In fact, if the batch number defined in BTNT is NEW to the system these additional details load up as expected, only when it is a quantity update on the batch number do they not. I thought that since the quantity of a pre-existing batch is being update successfully via this method the other "Batch Details" should update as well.
Can anyone provide insight as to whether it is possible (and if so how) to update these batch details during a Goods Receipt or Goods Issue DTW for pre-existing batches or will it only do it for a brand new batch #?
Thanks very much,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Welcome you post on the forum.
I am afraid you could only update batch details when you imported them as new. You may only update the existing batch details through UI.
Thanks,
Gordon

Is it possible to create a batch file in Mac OS?

In MS-DOS, a batch file is a text file containing a series of commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter. It's very convenient and handy. Is it possible to do the same in Mac OS? I tried the automator of Mac OS and copied the workflow, but it is quite clumzy and painfully slow, and stops working afte a relaunch.

Having come from a Apple ][ & DOS background, it took me a while to learn Automator. It's more graphical so some concepts took a "AHA!" moment. You don't mention what "stops working" but likely it's "just" a step that is missing from your workflow. For example, in one of my workflows, the "AHA!" was realizing I needed to specify a name by "Get Specified Finder Item" before I could work with it.
Perhaps you'd be more comfortable with Applescript, especially if you've done any C or other programming language beyond batch files.
If you're up for it, or if your needs are that complex, you could create shell scripts. In fact, my latest Automator work flow calls a shell script because it's actually the KeePass Windows executable run in Mono. I know I probably could have done the whole thing as a shell script, but Automator was easier and would have been simple if it wasn't for this one shell script.

Is it possible to start a batch script from Sharepoint?

Hi,
I want to start a batch script from Sharepoint which executes some sql queries.
Can someone guide me how to start a batch (.bat) script in SP?

Yes and no. If your script is scheduled to run by some other process (which it should be, because it very likely has to be run as some account and not the web app account), you should set the script to look for a setting in a sharepoint list,
if that setting tells the script to run, then it does. This means that, yes, you can start a batch script from sharepoint.
To be able to execute a script directly from sharepoint...no.

Is it possible to save a batch of flash 8 files as flash 2004

I have the pretty arduous task of saving off hundreds of
flash files as an older version. I wondered if anyone knew if it
was possible to do this to multiple files rather than me having to
go through them one by one.
looking forward to hearing from you!

melushka,

this

I considered a bit before making that suggestion, but I
believe, in this
case, it (or something like it) is the only truly automated
solution.

The History panel is a decent way to be introduced to JSFL,
actually.
Steps are recorded automatically and may be saved. When
saved, they become
.jsfl files in this folder (Windows) ...
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local
Settings\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Commands\
They're text files, and can be viewed (and edited) in Notepad
or any simple
text editor.
But as you've discovered, Save As doesn't seem to be an
option in the
History panel, and although it is programmable directly, it
prompts the user
for input, which means it cannot be completely automated. :(

Batching In Illustrator??

In PhotoShop CS3, you can select File/Automate/Batch, and run an Action on an entire folder. I don't see that option in Illustrator CS3? Is there a way to run an action on an entire folder?
I'm attempting to save many EPS images as PNG images, and would really like to retain "vector attributes" - is any of this possible???
Thanks for any help.

Muppet Mark - In that regard, using Illustrator, do you have any recommendations as to how to render an EPS image to a PNG image, retaining as "crisp" an image as possible?
What I have is a lot of multi-colored EPS clipart, and I need it to be PNG format and black only. I have a script in PhotoShop that will convert/save as PNG, but I was hoping a similar result in Illustrator would be sharper/clearer??? Illustrator apparently doesn't understand PhotoShop scripting and I don't understand Illustrator scripting!!!

Batch convert illustrator layers to movieclips

Hello all,
Ik was wandering if it it possible to batch convert ai-layers to movieclips.Also I would like that the layer name will be the movieclip name and the instancename. Hopefully you can help me!
kind regards!
Arjan

First of all ... yes ... it is possible to save illustrator files as movie clips(which to me are .swf).
Since i suppose you`re making a reference to .fla files(because u need instance name to be the same name as the layer and so the .fla layer it is in), that should also be possible but you`ll have to play a bit with the flash scripting. Here's a start:
this will save every layer as a swf in the same location as the .ai file ...
exportToFlashFile(app.activeDocument.path.fsName + "/export.swf");
function exportToFlashFile(destFile) {
          if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
               var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsFlash();
               var type = ExportType.FLASH;
               var fileSpec = new File(destFile);
               exportOptions.resolution = 150;
               exportOptions.exportStyle = FlashExportStyle.LAYERSASFILES;
               exportOptions.jpegQuality = 10;
               app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );

Is it possible to read a file using Illustrator SDK ?

Hi all,
I need to read the contents of a file by using my plugin, the file is in the illustrator's installation directory, is it possible read the file ?
In my plugin i am using a variable "myurl" to set the target url, i need to make the "myurl" as dynamic,
That is i will specify the target url in text file and the plugin will read its value at runtime,
Now what i am doing is , set myurl="192.168.1.103" in the code itself. So i need edit the code each time if i asked to change target its not a good option.
Thanks in advance
Sreejesh K V

You could use the Preferences suite to store the url as a preference. Then you could either edit the illustrator prefs file manually to change it, or code a way to change it into your plugin.

Is it possible to upload color groups from Illustrator CC?

Is there anyway to upload a color group from Illustrator to Adobe Cloud and have it appear as a Color Theme? I can only seem to upload individual colors. Alternatively, is it possible to group individual colors that have been uploaded into a Color Theme?
I am running Illustrator CC 18.1.1 on Mac 10.9.5 (Mavericks.)
Thanks,.

Upload? You should be able to tap and hold down on an image until the Copy or Save Image options popup. Tap Save and it should be saved to the camera roll album in the photos app.

Is it possible to draw a sphere on illustrator?

How would I draw a sphere on illustrator?
I saw how to do 3D objects, but still do not know how to do a sphere, if it is even possible.
Thank you

As Joe writes you create your art first the n drag it to the symbol panel and then in the 3D Effect dialog you choose map Art then in the Map art dialog
you choose the surface you want and then select the symbol you made of your art. Turn on the preview to see what you are doing.

Is it possible to open gerber files in Illustrator and save them as .eps?

Well?
//ekmanch

If by Gerber, you mean Gerber Scientific Products Omega software, no. You cannot directly open or import their proprietary fromat into Illustrator.
On the other hand, Omega will export to both AI and EPS formats, so why would you need to?
