[Scripting] I need to implement a script to change 100,000 pathItems color in 1 time

[rapeepato16788675]

I need to implement a script like 'recolor artwork' wizard in AI.

And I already wrote a script that loop change pathItems color one by one. It's work for few pathItems. But does not work for my job that contains more than 100,000 pathItems. You know that's too slow.

So, I need help. How can I set color to group of all pathItems in a time ? or do we have a better way to do ?

Best regards

set the document's defaultFillColor to your desired color and then use an app.executeMenuCommand("Find Fill Color menu item") to select all shapes of one color, or use one of the available selection commands that does not rely on looping such as layer.hasSelectedArtwork = true, to get your shapes selected and then set the document's defaultFillColor to change all in one instance without resorting to a loop.

Cool. It's work with just 3 lines of code

// choose the source color that will be changed

doc.DefaultFillColor = srcColor;

//  select all object that has the color same source color

app.ExecuteMenuCommand("Find Fill Color menu item");

//  change the color of selected object to dst color

doc.DefaultFillColor = dstColor;

Thank you.
