Hello,
I have automate importing artwork, Here is logic.
File name and capion wll be in text file with needed coding say {[[Fig 1.2]] (((Caption goes here)))} We can code it differently if it works better.
I have to get the name of file from this text grep the caption and do the following actions.
get image name() HelpMe
select folder of image() OK
place image in width of page() OK
place caption box below or above() Incomplete
place source box below() StillToDo
group image and caption box() StillToDo
Is there any one who can complete this or give me other suggestions.
Scratch code is below:
property TypeList : {"BMP ", “EPSF”, “GIFf”, “JPEG”, "PDF ", “PICT”, “PNGf”, “TIFF”} – File types of your graphic files
property LabelHeight : 16 – Height of the Label Box (in points)
property HorSpace : 6 – Gutter between column (in points)
property VerSpace : 12 – Gutter between rows (in points)
property BoxWidth : 20 – will be defined at run time
property BoxHeight : 10 – will be defined at run time
property SourceFolder : “” – will be defined at run time
property Xor : 0 – will be defined at run time
property Yor : 0 – will be defined at run time
property LabelSpace : 12 – will be defined at run time
property MarginTop : 0 – will be defined at run time
property MarginBottom : 0 – will be defined at run time
property MarginLeft : 0 – will be defined at run time
property MarginRight : 0 – will be defined at run time
property DocName : “” – will be defined at run time
