scriptographer scripts .js

==========================

javascript for use with the Scriptographer plugin for Adobe Illustrator version <= CS5.5

* These are scripts that I find useful for cartography in AI, similar to the ones found [here.](http://kelsocartography.com/blog/?tag=script)

* Some of these scripts were developed with help from [Alex Blackwood]([email protected])

* The transFormEach.js script was created by [Shanfan Huang](http://shanfanhuang.com)

The scripts in the scripts_working folder do the following:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  -copySelectedLayer.js

     duplicates a selected layer in the document, renames the duplicate layer,

     moves the duplicate layer below the original, and hides the original layer.

     

  -pathTextToPointText.js 

     takes a selected text on a path and makes it point text. Ignores path text with handles so that 

     path text that truly needs to be on a path stays on a path.

  

  -pathTextToPointText_ignoreHandles.js

     same as above script but will convert path text with handles

     

  -selectSameCharacterStyle.js

     will select all other text in the document that matches a currently selected text item's properties (font family, font style, color, etc.)

     *note: freehand file text data has some properties that scriptographer doesn't recognize so this script won't always work.

     

  -selectSameContent.js

     will select all other grouped objects that contain the same text as a currently selected grouped object that contains text

     

  -textPathExtend.js

     will extend path text handles when not long enough to display text contained (when a little red plus symbol is showing)

     

  -transformEach.js

     similar to AI's native transform each command but better as it doesn't seem to limit the total number of objects you can have selected.

     

  -updateCharacterStylesByLayer.js

     assigns properties to text based on what layer the text is in, for moon take a hike styles.

  

  -updateCharacterStylesMHB.js

     similar to above script but for moon hand books black/white style.
