"Text Style" Object Type integer

[The Hamma]

I have looked through the SDK and maybe I am missing it but I can't find the Object Type ID integer for "Text Styles".  Anyone know what it is?

Documentscript with

Message(GetTypeN(GetObject(‘textstylename’)))

will get you the answer.

Ok, Follow up question.  Does anyone know how to set the Document Text Style preference for future text objects to be a particular text style via script?

and 

How to move text styles into a Text Style folder via script?

Move a resource to a folder: I think SetParent()…

Perfect, Thanks.  

 

Here is a script to import two Text Styles into the current drawing that are stored in: 

     {Workgroup folder or user folder}\Libraries\Defaults\Text Styles\Text Styles.vwx'
