Object layer options

Jul 30, 2012 10:55 AM

Hi,

In an annual report there are many imported (and linked) AI graphics. They all have 4 layers, named EN, GE, NL and Layer 1.

First we make the NL annual report in which we place the AI-files with only the Layer 1 and NL layer turned on (set to visible).

Then we copy this annual report (in Windows) to the EN version and translate the body text. So far so good.

 

Question: is it possible to make a simple script that makes (for all linked AI-graphics) the NL layer invisible and the EN layer visible. That would be a huge time saver...

    Hi Wimkees,

     

    Please try the below JS code, This code will hide the EN & and GE to set the visibility OFF, So remaining layer of NL & Layer 1 is visibility is ON.

     

    I hope youe expect this!

     

    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myGraphics = myDoc.links;
 
for (var i = myGraphics.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    var myArt = myGraphics[i]; 
    var myGraph = myArt.graphicLayerOptions.graphicLayers;
    for (var a=myGraph.length-1; a>=0; a--){
        var myGName = myGraph[a];
        if(myGName.name !="Layer 1" || myGName.name !="NL" ){
            myGName.currentVisibility = false;
            }
        }
    }       

     

     

    thx,

    csm_phil
