Greetings!
I'm scripting Adobe Illustrator CC 2017.1.0 in Mac OS X 10.11.6 using Script
Debugger 6.0.5. The following code returns some valid and some invalid results:
tell application id "com.adobe.illustrator"
ruler units of current document
end tell
Listed below are the actual ruler units in use and how Illustrator is reporting
them:
inches = bicubic automatic
points = preserve details
picas = picas
millimeters = millimeters
centimeters = automatic
pixels = pixels
Obviously, the ones in red are bogus. There must be some sort of terminology
mixup. So, two questions:
1. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
2. Can I expect "preserve details" to be a consistent and valid substitution
for "points" in Illustrator's terminology? For example, can I count on this
line?:
if ruler units of current document is preserve details then return "points"
Actually, in case Adobe fixes it in the future, I'd probably do something like
this:
if ruler units of current document is in {points, preserve details} then
return "points"
Thanks,
Stan C.
