Also this is the first time that I have listened to the podcast, and I can see this furthering my InDesign skills. Thanks.

I notice when you convert angled lines using the “line” tool to “orthogonal lines” the rectangular bounding box goes away and a rotational value appears in the info dock. This also happens if you draw a straight “line” and then type a value into the rotation field after you’ve drawn it.

So if you were to draw an angled “line” with the “line” tool you’d never know the exact angle, unless you converted it to “orthogonal” when the angle would be revealed.

Try this: draw a “line” at angle, then select the line and rotate it further, note it’s rotation in the “info” panel, then covert to “orthogonal”. Also try it on a rotated curvy path made with the pen tool.
Still not clear on its purpose though.

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;

If it does solve it what it means is that somehow on your computer user interaction was switched off — this is often done by scripts or plug-ins, but they usually switch it back on again.

Also have you tried the usual troubleshooting techniques? (Rebuild preferences etc.)

I am using CS3 and Leopard. Whenever I double click on a script to use it, I get the spinning beach ball for about half a second, then it goes away, and nothing happens. My scripts are sick! Does anyone know what is going on? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
