Hi there,

Nice tutorial, thanks. Could expand on tracingOptions available in AI CC? It seems Adobe folk have not updated the ExtendScript to match options in ImageTrace (as opposed to LiveTrace in AI CS5 and earlier). Thanks.

I test run the script in development multiple times. If I create a new document at the start of every script, it will lead to many open document in Illustrator very quickly.

If I choose the active document at the start of the script instead, it does not open new documents but it will write on top of whatever is already there.

Is there a way to select the active document but wipe it clean in the beginning of the script?

Hi -- Thanks for creating this tutorial. If was very help in getting started. Do you know if there is a way to place text into the system clipboad from extend script? (In my case I want to grab the markers in Audition and save them as JSON to the clipboard) Alternately, can I create a process which I can pipe text into (in my case, pbcopy). If the full node api available to node script? thanks, nehal

Hi there

I enjoyed reading your tutorial, as the help for the scripting found online is very sparse. Anyway, I was wondering how I can rotate an object around a defined point (x/y). Until so far I only managed to rotate it with the given parameters:

Transformation:
Transformation.DOCUMENTORIGIN
Transformation.TOPLEFT
Transformation.LEFT
Transformation.BOTTOMLEFT
Transformation.TOP
Transformation.CENTER
Transformation.BOTTOM
Transformation.TOPRIGHT
Transformation.RIGHT
Transformation.BOTTOMRIGHT

Any help on that?
Thank you in advance.
