IE6 FIX
Hi?
this is a wish list but is also a question...
is there a way to share documents made by scriptographer in illustrator directly in indesign? I'm working on a grid-script on scriptographer and I'm questioning to myself if it possible to export that file and automaticly import it in indesign as guides...
any help?
thanks in advance!

After some digging, I think I found a better solution. InDesign ships with a script: AddGuides (Window>Automation>Scripts>Samples). This allows you to create guides around any selected object, and any of its sides/centers.
If you were to set your SG script to create objects which define the guides' placement, pasting those objects into InDesign is supported natively...

Hmm... It seems to work just fine on every machine I've try.
Keep in mind, this only flips the boolean 'guide' value for a path, making it follow the Guide commands, such as Hide Guides, Lock ... etc. It will not make the path 'infinite' as a ruler guide appears.
If that's what you're after, you can transform the path to a huge length (227 inches on the x/y axis) so it appears to be a regular guide, or you can change the guide's starting and ending points with a text editor:
Each guide in a CS3 .ai file has three lines describing the starting point (X,Y,m), ending point (X,Y,L), and termination/path-type ((N) *). In a 10"x10" document, the following will describe a horizontal line at 5":
-7831 360 m
8552 360 L
(N) *
The specific X values here are the most important - a guide MUST have a starting point at -7831, and an ending point at 8552 in order to be treated as an 'infinite' line. The same applies for vertical guides, but in the Y coordinate. As well, (N)* terminates a guide, while N ends a regular path.
If you create all of your new guides with the same X/Y positions you can easily search and replace the right values to fool Illustrator into thinking it's full of regular ruler-guides.
