Hi priyan,

AddGuides.jsx will generate an error when the document you're working with does not contain a particular layer. That's normal, and there's nothing wrong with the script.

When the script is run from the Scripts palette, error handling in the script takes care of the error; when you're running it from the ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK), you should just click No when the error message appears (that is, *don't* let the ESTK handle the error). If you click Yes, then the layer will not get created and the script will generate a real error when it tries to assign a guide to the layer.

Take a look at the try...catch statement that creates the layer if it does not already exist, and you'll see how it works.

Thanks,

Ole
