I'm trying to use the API to copy a text frame to a different page of the same document, then change the frame's name and position. copyObjects() / pasteObjects() works for me to get the frame copied, but I'm not able to change the new frame's name. I'm thinking to use getObjectAttributes() / setObjectAttributes() to change the new frame's name, but getObjectAttributes() always returns an empty list. For example, I execute this from the scripter console:
dummy = newDocument((5, 3), (0, 0, 0, 0), PORTRAIT, 1, UNIT_INCHES, PAGE_1, 0, 2) gotoPage (1) orig_name = createText (1, 1, 1, 1) copyObjects (orig_name) gotoPage (2) new_name = pasteObjects () new_attrs = getObjectAttributes (new_name[0]) print (len (new_attrs)) and that last print statement shows that the attribute list is empty. I expected getObjectAttributes() to return a list of dictionary, and that I could then update the first (and only) dictionary in that list, changing the value of the "Name" element to the new name I want for the copied frame. What's wrong with how I''m using the API here, and/or, is there another way to accomplish this?
