Hi,
I am trying to modify the cropmark script as per my requirement. But little confused how to eliminate the cropmarks which comes in middle. Please suggest how to get rid this.
Script:
main();
function main(){
//Make certain that user interaction (display of dialogs, etc.) is turned on.
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
if (app.documents.length != 0){
if (app.selection.length > 0){
switch(app.selection[0].constructor.name){
case "Rectangle":
case "Oval":
case "Polygon":
case "GraphicLine":
case "Group":
case "TextFrame":
case "Button":
myDisplayDialog();
break;
default:
alert("Please select a page item and try again.");
break;
}
}
else{
alert("Please select an object and try again.");
}
}
else{
alert("Please open a document, select an object, and try again.");
}
}
function myDisplayDialog(){
var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"CropMarks"});
with(myDialog){
with(dialogColumns.add()){
var myCropMarksGroup = enablingGroups.add({staticLabel:"Crop Marks", checkedState:true});
with (myCropMarksGroup){
with(borderPanels.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Options:"});
with (dialogColumns.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Length:"});
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Offset:"});
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Stroke Weight:"});
}
with (dialogColumns.add()){
var myCropMarkLengthField = measurementEditboxes.add({editValue:18, editUnits:MeasurementUnits.points});
var myCropMarkOffsetField = measurementEditboxes.add({editValue:3, editUnits:MeasurementUnits.points});
var myCropMarkWidthField = measurementEditboxes.add({editValue:.5, editUnits:MeasurementUnits.points});
}
}
}
with(borderPanels.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Draw Marks Around:"});
var myRangeButtons = radiobuttonGroups.add();
with(myRangeButtons){
radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Each Object", checkedState:true});
radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Entire Selection"});
}
}
}
}
var myReturn = myDialog.show();
if (myReturn == true){
//Get the values from the dialog box.
var myDoCropMarks = myCropMarksGroup.checkedState;
var myCropMarkLength = myCropMarkLengthField.editValue;
var myCropMarkOffset = myCropMarkOffsetField.editValue;
var myCropMarkWidth = myCropMarkWidthField.editValue;
var myRange = myRangeButtons.selectedButton;
myDialog.destroy();
//"||" is logical OR in JavaScript.
if ((myDoCropMarks != false) ){

}
else{

}
