Preference Key for Illustrator

[Steven Charles-Charlery]

Hello,

I am searching informations about preference keyes about Illustrator scripting.

Where I can find descriptions about key (preference file in appdata), for example for isRulerOriginTopLeft.

Thank you

Do you mean:

app.preferences.setBooleanPreference ("isRulerOriginTopLeft",radCS5.value);  
app.preferences.setBooleanPreference ("isRulerIn4thQuad",radCS5.value);

from: JS - change CS5 Ruler Origin to bottom/left (like CS4)

Yeah, I saw this post but I want know how You can know how to use this key (for what).

I can't find documentation about this keyes (all keyes in 'pref illustrator document' not in 'pref illustrator cloud document).

For example, where I can find documentation about this key isRulerOriginTopLeft ?

I wrote about some keys in the Japanese forum a few years ago.

Yes thank you, I saw it too but there is a lot of keyes without documentation in pref illustrator file.

For example, your informations are wrote in pref illustrator cloud file and not in pref illustrator file and isRulerOriginTopLeft key is in pref illustrator file.

And how you can know informations to wrote your little documentation please ?

Unfortunately, This is never documented in Scripting. However, You can reference the Illustrator CC SDK.

Hello, do you know where I have to search in documentation to find informations about this keyes, I searched in SDK documentation but I dont find it ?

There is files .h only in SDK documentation.

there's no documentation about preference keys. All we know about them has been found out by trial and error and by being very curious.

Yes, It's no listed for some reasons.

However, We can learn about preferences with SDK document.

I recommend checking references under the docs directory.
