I have an .svg file that has a map of the United States with each county being a different object. I want a list of all these objects along with their ID. When I right click an object and select "object properties" I can see the ID and the Label of the object, but is there any way to export a list of these?
Picture is what I'm working with
I didn't have an SVG file of the USA with each county being a different object, but found a map of the USA with each state being a different object.
When I opened that file in a text editor, I was able to see the individual path IDs that are part of the file.
Unfortunately, I'm not a script wizard, but I suspect that someone with reasonably simple scripting skills would be able to parse the path IDs for your document.
If it was a one-off project, you could manually edit the file by deleting everything else, although every county in every state in the USA would be rather excessive.
I have a macro program that I would use, creating a simple "manual" editing script, turning a tedious process into a brute force process instead.
I suspect that if one were skilled in Python, the process would be even simpler.
