# illustrator_execute_menu_command Illustrator: Run an Illustrator menu command by its executeMenuCommand name (e.g. "outline" = Type > Create Outlines, "expandStyle" = Object > Expand Appearance). Illustrator reports nothing back and silently ignores names it does not know, so the result is the selection and document state afterwards. Commands that open a dialog wait for the user.
