WOWWWWWWW!!!!

Works like charm. Thanks God there are people like you here The best post I've seen on these forums!

Saved the script with the name CarlosCanto_ScaleStrokesOnly

Great job It is perfect already but If I'm allowed to make one suggestion it would be to make the Preview checked by default. I know it is following the Illustrator convention but you can make it better

Jacob,

.jsx just associates it with ExtendScript Toolkit. It doesn't really have anything to do with the script itself.

To try a script to see if it will run in AI10, try changing the extension to .js.

It's still quite possible that a script may use functionality of the AI Javascript object model that didn't exist when AI10 shipped, or that has changed since. But the extension on the file does not necessarily mean there's anything in the script that AI 10 can't do. Note that when you download Carlos's script, its extension is .txt. That's all a Javascript is; a text file.

Please forgive my lack of basic knowledge, but I have no clue how to do that in Windows XP

Wait, you don't work for our Sales Dept, do you? K, no, I'm just kidding.

Right Click > Rename   -OR-   F2 with the file selected. When you do it, you'll be warned that the file may become "unusable". Just ignore that.

(You may have to first unhide file extensions for known filetypes in your Windows Exporer folder options.)

Changing .JSX to .JS is just like changing a text file from .TXT to .HTML so that it's file association is changed. That's all the extension does - associate the file with a certain program(s). It has no effect on the file's contents.

For fun, try changing an Illustrtaor .AI file's extension to .PDF, then open it up.

Jacob, you must be a trusting soul, not to have "Always Show File Extensions" on!

Well the script works great and I see no reason why Adobe should not pick this one up and incorporate it into the stroke panel.

Thank you and well done.

Cheers!

Very nice, Carlos.

By the way, you are exceeding the limit:

Hi Mathias, not really...well, for a Selection of 1, yes, or for multiple selections that will end with a uniform line weight. But the script works best with multiple selections with multiple line weights, all strokes will scale proportionally.

Oh! Ok, yeah great!

I've failed to say thanks for this, so far. So, thanks for makin' it!

edit: It's the same in Safari. Mac 10.6.8

I don't know it's useful or not.

Moluapple,

Very useful indeed! As I mentioned in the thread that gave rise to this, a palette version would be much more elegant; and it is. With your palette version, the flickering from the redraw is gone, so the slider works like a slider should. You can change the selection without dismissing the window.

Moreover, though, I now (at long last) have an example of a functioning AI javascript palette--something I've been looking for ever since first dinking around with AI javascript dialogs.

(I've run this in CS3, by the way, so it works at least that far back.)

Thanks.

Excellent, moluapple. Thanks for doing that.
