Doesn't that align left? I'm talking about align top.

Sorry, I didn't see a specific "illustrator" forum.

Can anyone offer a solution here? Should be able to do this without moving the blue shape and without physically selecting and move the black shape. You can't just select the two then either use the Align docker or keystroke?

Corel is my choice but I have slowly been setting up illustrator's workspace to be more like Corel's. I can now zoom with the mouse wheel Alignment shortcuts are now the same L (left), R(right), etc. They still don't work properly though. Sucks you have to use scripts or actions to do the tasks...

If you select an invisible layer you will not be able to select anything to ungroup. This might help Sub MoveToLockedLayer() Dim s As Shape ActiveDocument.BeginCommandGroup "MoveToLockedLayer" Application.Optimization = True For Each s In ActiveSelection.Shapes...

Frustrated me too so I created a macro that cycles thru the layers when I press the - on the number keypad (my assigned the shortcut). So if you found that you forgot to activate the layer you needed you can just keep hitting the - key until it lands on the layer you want to be active then group.

Interesting to note that when working with multiple layers in Corel your "active layer" will always stay the same until you manually activate another. When you click a shape the layer that it's on doesn't become the active layer as it does in illustrator. But I've implemented a macro that will...

Might try this macro. At least gets a contour around each selected shape. With a little better understanding of your desired end result, it could be tweaked. Sub ContourAllSelected() Dim s As Shape Dim e As Effect Dim c As ShapeRange ' To hold the converted contour shapes...

Don't know about illustrator but I created this vector fill pattern for Corel. Can customize to any size needed.

Well that narrows it down to 5000! lol What exactly are you needing?

I might have a 6.2. Should open earlier files. Have an Edge II & lots of foils. Would be willing to part with but shipping would be a killer.

IS chatgpt free?

:rock-n-roll:Welcome to the $h*t show. :roflmao:

Yeah, I much prefer Corel but when I point out that corel can do something by way of a macro that illy cannot I would like to be able to present the same in script format. Plus I like to dabble with scripting.

I don't mind sharing but I would want to be careful as some of them came from others and I prefer to give them the credit. Some I have made with help from others and from borrowing code from others etc. I wouldn't share any that were purchased. I don't think I have any that I've purchased but I...

Thanks for the info. Shows you how much I still need to learn. I didn't know they were two different entities. In my reference I was simply abbreviating for Javascript.

Yes, this is to make weeding easier. We have FineCut plugin but only on 1 pc and that's used by our print/plot tech. So instead of tying up his pc to do this task I decided to write my own that the designers can do from there own workstation. I have a l lot more set up that way too. I made a...

Yeah, I have a 100 macros for CorelDRAW. I'm more familiar with vbs coding than java. I'm toying around with using Copilot to write scripts. That way I can learn by editing and such.
