Expanding symbols back to vector objects
From:  Carl Hillig

I have a script that generates artwork based on user input and applies symbol and text objects to the artboard. I then need to make these items vector objects to drive a plotter.

The text is simple using the createOutline(); function.

The symbols however are proving difficult. I was hoping someone has read the reference guides more carefully than I and can explain that an existing function can solve my problem. If not, perhaps someone could give me an idea of how to create a function to do this work.

Thank you in advance!

Carl

Answered my own question a few weeks back, I just hate open threads. I need to read the Reference more thoroughly before I post.

item.embed(); places the symbol without issue.

Thanks again for the SG. It's fantastic!
