A block's line took the tallest ascent and deepest descent of its
characters, or the height of the stack's em boxes, whichever was larger.
The top block line's characters reach above the stack by their ascent
past the em box, and the bottom line's below it by their descent, so with
a wide Line Gap the line was too short for them. The line's ascent and
descent now also take in each character's reach from its own block line's
baseline.
- Outline Stroke on a graph's strokes, including Object > Expand with
Stroke on, adjusts the bounds the graph keeps, the same way
Create Outlines on its labels does. Before, the stroke outlines
changed the bounds of the art without type, and the next redraw
stretched the plot by the width the outlines added.
- A graph that keeps `placedArt` and has no art other than type left
is no longer measured on the bounds of all its art. A label edit on
such a graph moved and stretched the plot at the next redraw; the
plot now stays where it is.
- A redraw no longer measures a move or scale on art that has no width
or no height now, such as a graph left with one axis line. Before,
the plot collapsed to no width.
- A clipping group in a graph that holds type is measured on its clip
when the clip does not depend on type, so moving art outside the clip
does not change the bounds. Blends, envelopes and repeats are
measured whole, as they are drawn.
- The doc crate's helper is named `graph_art_without_type` and sits
with the file's other free functions.
- docs/mcp.md lists Outline Stroke and states that moving an outlined
label, a swatch, an axis or a tick mark on its own can move or scale
the plot, and that a graph left with only labels, or with art that
has no width or height, does not follow a move.
- Tests: a scale of the graph made before outlining a label, a move of
a graph opened from `.ai` after its label is restyled and moved,
Outline Stroke after a move, a graph left with only its labels or
with one line, and clipping groups holding type.
A plot of the art's bounds now leaves placed images, objects at 0%
opacity and unpainted paths out of the art of a dynamic symbol, as it
does for other symbols. An object that an instance's fill, stroke or
opacity makes the plot draw is measured for that instance only, and an
instance whose symbol holds nothing else is left out, so a document
with only such instances is refused.
Each run is rewritten in pieces between the ruby spans' ends, so no
replacement joins characters across one, and each span is moved to where
its characters land in the new text. Expert Fractions treats a digit of
any script next to a fraction as part of a larger number.
File › Open's Import PDF dialog gets Import PDF pages as links. With it on,
each page picked opens as a placed document linked to that page of the
file, on an artboard of its Crop To box and a layer named after the page,
in place of editable art. The Links panel lists each page, and Embed makes
a page editable.
document.open takes the matching linkPages param. It is refused for a
file that is not a PDF or a PDF-compatible .ai, for bytes without a path,
with a password and with textAs: outlines. The pages share one copy of
the file, and the document opens in CMYK when most of its pages do.
Save asks for a name, as for other partly read PDFs.
Perspective Grid Options gets the two Automatic Plane Positioning
checkboxes, Anchor Point of Perspective Artwork and Intersection of
Gridlines. With the Perspective Selection tool, Shift held over an
anchor point of art in perspective, or over a gridline intersection,
with no button down, moves the active plane through that point and
hides the other planes. A plane made active then passes through the
same point. The plane goes back to its place once an object is drawn
on it or attached to it, when the grid hides or no plane is active,
when the file is opened again, and with Escape.
- perspective.plane.infer {at?, tolerance?, clear?} positions, reads
and clears the held point, which is view state, not an undo step.
- perspective.widget.options takes anchorPoint and gridlineIntersection,
both on by default and kept with the preferences.
- perspective.plane.move moves a held plane from where it is held.
The Links panel menu gets Sort by Size beside Sort by Name, Kind and
Status, and links.list takes sort: "size". A row's size is the file size
Link Info shows: the file's size now, else the size the document keeps
of it. Rows without a size (embedded images, a missing file whose size
is not kept) come last, and equal sizes go by name. The size is read
only when sorting by it, and under automation read roots a file outside
them is not read.
Every catalog with Sort by Status gets a Sort by Size row; the Ukrainian
Sort by Status row, which read "Sort by:", now says "Sort by Status".
Create Sub-folders and Open Location after Export are check items that set
the settings the panel shares with Export for Screens, and the panel's
Export follows them. Create Sub-folders is checked as the dialog opens on
it: on for a document without export settings, and on for remembered
folders per row, format or item, which the panel's Export now uses too.
Format Settings... opens Export for Screens on the Assets tab showing the
first row's format settings.
assets.settings.set takes openLocation (kept in document.exportSettings,
not in presets), refuses a subfolders or openLocation value that is not
true, false or null, and with subfolders false given alone also ends a
remembered folder per format or item. Export for Screens reads remembered
empty folders as none, as an export does.
Type > Smart Punctuation... now opens its own dialog in place of the
generic parameter form. It has the seven replacement options, Replace In
(Selected Text Only or Entire Document) and Report Results, which lists
how many of each chosen replacement were made after OK. The dialog opens
on the options confirmed last.
- type.smartPunctuation takes fiLigatures, flLigatures, spaces and
fractions, all off by default, so existing calls behave as before.
- Ligatures write U+FB00 to U+FB04, longest match first. Expert
Fractions writes the one-character fractions Unicode encodes, and
skips one with a digit, a slash or a decimal point next to it, across
a change of style too. Either is written only where the run's font
has a glyph for it.
- Smart Spaces keeps one space after a period, across runs. An inline
graphic separates the text on either side of it.
- The reply adds a replaced object with a count per kind. Nothing to
replace still records no undo step.
