Script to lock guides

[ddiazetc]

Hi,
I'm looking to create a script that can lock guides in a PS document (I'd like to do this for some 200 PS documents that have guides in them but none of them have locked guides, and I just don't want to lock them all by hand), but I'm having trouble finding the right method to do so in this documentation: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/ ... f-2019.pdf

There is activeDocument.guides.add (Direction.HORIZONTAL,UnitValue(20,20)) for example, but no "activeDocument.guides.lock". Is locking the guides a property of another object, or a method belonging to some other object?

Thanks a lot!

Code: Select all

runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('toggleLockGuides'))

What does that line of code do exactly, Kukurykus?

it locks guides in the document, so you can't drag them until you use that 'line of code' again.
