I finished this script to set the colours on some paths stoke and fill named The Path name is = "Block" in illustrator and then I wanted to open a save as. Only problem is the changes are not registering until after the save dialog where the page is refreshed with changes. What do I need to call to refresh before the save dialog.
if ( app.documents.length > 0) {
//Set some colours
var blackColor = new RGBColor();
blackColor.red = 0;
blackColor.green = 0;
blackColor.blue = 0;
var whiteColor = new RGBColor();
whiteColor.red = 255;
whiteColor.green = 255;
whiteColor.blue = 255;
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
//var layers = docRef.layers;
//var myLayer = layers["layer1"]; //this defines the layer that you want to get the selection from
//
docRef.selection = null; //ensure there is nothing in the document selected already. this way you only get the selection you want.
for(var a=0;a<docRef.pathItems.length;a++){
if (docRef.pathItems[a].name == "Block"){
docRef.pathItems[a].fillColor = whiteColor;
docRef.pathItems[a].strokeColor = blackColor;
docRef.pathItems[a].selected = true;
}
}
////////
//This need to be added to refresh the draw process
redraw(); //<--Add This
/////////
alert("Save outline");
app.executeMenuCommand("saveas");
}
