Thank you ones again Dan, my new hero.

As I understand the comp was not active in the viewer?

Hi Rainier,

Thank you for your reply. Tried your code, the layer in my comp is selected but converting to a shape layer doesn’t work, I’m not sure why?

Sorry for bothering you guys again, I have looked at al possible threads, but found noting.

I’m having a problem with creating a shape layer from an .ai file.

On a selected .ai layer I’m using:

app.executeCommand(3973);

But nothing happens, is this is the correct way to “Create Shapes from Vector Layer”?


var myComp = app.project.item(1); //active comp
var myFile = app.project.importFileWithDialog(); //import illustrator file
var myLayer = myComp.layers.add(myFile[0]); //add to active comp as new layer
myComp.layer(1).selected = true;
//alert( app.findMenuCommandId("Create Shapes from Vector Layer"));
app.executeCommand(3973);

Yeahhhh, that worked, thank you Dan.
I think I’m starting to like learning Extendscript.
