textFrame.fit() in CS6
May 23, 2012 1:47 PM
So, I had a minute and wanted to test the new auto-fitting text frames against the usual textFrame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT) from a performance standpoint.
The auto-fitting seemed to work fine in very limited testing. When I went to compare the older method, with auto-fitting turned off, I started with this:
The repeated part of my script looked like this:
var frame = app.activeDocument.textFrames[0];
frame.contents += frame.contents;
frame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
I got this:
Uh oh. The frame resized out to the pasteboard margins.
It works fine, as it always has, in the UI. And it will do okay from the scripting interface with two different scripts:
var frame = app.activeDocument.textFrames[0];
frame.contents += frame.contents;
and then:
var frame = app.activeDocument.textFrames[0];
frame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
But not together. I tried putting in an alert and some other stuff in between the text doubling and the fit, but that didn't fix it.
Anyone with CS6 care to try to replicate this one? (I'm on OS X 10.6.8.)
