![]() ![]() I've included error checking where possible, so in most cases you should get an explanation when something breaks. The script doesn't know which commands can or can't be run at the time of execution so tread carefully. Using Ai Command Palette requires some basic knowledge of Illustrator. ℹ️ I like to use the keyboard shortcut Command-Shift-P since it is somewhat mnemonic for "palette". I recommend installing this action into your scripts folder ( how-to), then tying it to a keyboard shortcut using something like Keyboard Maestro (Mac), BetterTouchTool (Mac), or AutoHotkey (Windows). If anyone wants to offer localization for other languages you can learn more here. This includes all dialogs, alerts, menu commands, and tools. With the help of Kurt Gold and Sergey Osokin, Ai Command Palette is currently localized for German and Russian versions of Illustrator. This function is mostly for making backups or sharing your preferences with others. ⚠️ I would not recommend directly editing the file unless you know exactly what you are going. This command simply "reveals" your preferences file on your system. ![]() This includes any Scripts you load, Workflows you create, and Commands you have hidden. Reveal Preferences FileĪll of your Ai Command Palette settings are saved on your system to a "json-like" preferences file. ❓ Accidentally hide a command you didn't mean to?

You can access the settings for Ai Command Palette by selecting the "Command Palette Settings." option (or via search). You can even save it out for future reference.Īi Command Palette has access to most of Illustrator's functionality via the menu command system but there are some features only available (or much easier to access) via the API that I have added as I encounter them. To quickly get right to the info you need, Ai Command Palette offers a quick Document Report that includes, most of the basic info like fonts, artboards, placed image details, spot colors, etc. Illustrators Document Info palette offers lots of great info but it can be a little cumbersome to work with. Without leaving your keyboard, quickly jump to a specific artboard, pop to another open document, or zoom in on a specific names object. The simple workflow above takes your current selection of objects, blends them together, opens the blend options dialog so you can make any necessary adjustments, then expands your blend, and saves your file with an action. □ Workflows are a super powerful utility for beginners, pros, and everyone in between.
