TextSync exports text objects from an Adobe Illustrator file to a text file where it can be edited outside of Adobe Illustrator, then imported back into the original text objects.
Notarized for macOS 10.15 Catalina with Illustrator 2019 and 2020.
With the TextSync plugin, you can export all text objects or only the selected ones, either point text or area text. The tab-delimited text file it creates can then be opened in a word processor or spreadsheet for editing. If each text object contains a bold head, italic subhead, and description, your spreadsheet would show each callout as a row. The first column can be ignored by the editor, as it contains the XMLID of the text object the text belongs to. The next column would be the bold head, then the italic subhead, then the description. Tabs and returns from the text objects are indicated by “<t>” or “<r>” markup and can be freely added to or removed from the text.
When the text is imported back into the Illustrator document, the plugin first locates the text object with the item’s corresponding XMLID. Then the object’s text is divided into blocks based on its character formatting, and replaced with the blocks of text extracted using the same method.
If there is no corresponding XMLID, all format blocks in the text are combined and a new point text object is created in the visible document view.
Square Up plugin
This plugin will convert a selected path’s anchor points to corner points, and adjust the path segments so that lines within 20 degrees of perpendicular will be made square to each other. Use keyboard shortcuts to make quick work of an otherwise tedious task when cleaning up technical drawings, schematics, and diagrams.
Paths can be squared in several ways:
Vertical and horizontal.
Along the current constrain angle.
Along the dominant axis within the selection.
All control handles retracted into the anchor points for straight lines with corner points.
Requires Adobe Illustrator CS6 – CC for Mac or Windows .
