SET THE VIEW SCALE
tell layout space 1
set view scale to fit page in window
end tell
CONCEPTS
The lines above are similar to choosing Fit in Window from the View
menu for the active layout.
• The
tell statement references the left-most layout space.
• The
set event changes the view scale property to the data fit page in window .
The view scale property can be a percentage or specific view. For example, to
specify 100% view, use
100 for the second parameter. To specify thumbnails,
use
thumbnails for the second parameter.
CREATE GUIDES
tell page 1 of layout space 1 of project 1
make horizontal guide at beginning with properties
{position:"4.218 cm"}
make horizontal guide at end with properties {position:"8.447 cm"}
make horizontal guide at end with properties {position:"27.152 cm"}
make vertical guide at end with properties {position:"2 cm"}
make vertical guide at end with properties {position:"4.962 cm"}
make vertical guide at end with properties {position:"18.742 cm"}
make vertical guide at end with properties {position:"32 cm"}
end tell
CONCEPTS
The
make events above simulate clicking the horizontal and vertical rulers to
create guides, and then dragging the guides into position.
• The
tell statement references the layout by index [1]. The index value [1]
refers to the left-most layout space.
• Each make event makes a horizontal guide or vertical guide. The guides are
created with the properties specified in the properties record.
• The first guide is created at the beginning of page 1 in the object hierarchy
according to the fourth parameter. Subsequent guides are created at the end
of page 1.
