I can't post in the general scripting section therefor I'm trying my luck here, my question is about Illustrator.

I'm trying to replace a pathItem in one document with a pageItem from another document. If I create a watch on the pageItem variable after its copied it shows it's updated but the image in Illustrator doesn't seem to be affected at all. Any idea on how I can replace or copy an pageItem from one document to another?

The code I'm using is below:

'' Find source pageItem
  For Each pageItem In sourceDocument.PageItems
    If pageItem.Name = sourcePathItemName Then
      '' This works I can see all the properties after the copy
      Set newPageItem = pageItem
    End If
  Next pageItem

'' Find target pageItem
  For Each pageItem In targetDocument.PageItems
    If pageItem.PageItemType = aiPathItem Then
        If ((pageItem.PathItem.Area - tolerancePathItemArea) < replacePathItemArea) And ((pageItem.PathItem.Area + tolerancePathItemArea) > replacePathItemArea) Then
           '' This seems to works I can see all the properties in a Watch after the copy, but the images in illustrator isn't affected
           Set pageItem = newPageItem
        End If
    End If
  Next

Does anyone knows whats going wrong?
