   2.The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues
   When we run addDocumentNoUI method, we can set startupPreset.
   However, It always sets "Web" preset.

   3.Your expected result
   When we select "Art & Illustration" document open with appropriate preset.

   4.Your actual result
   All the time we got a document made with "Web" preset.

   Here is a sample code of NoUI scripting.

   var dc = app.documents.addDocumentNoUI("Art & Illustration");
   //add some objects
   dc.saveNoUI(File("~/Desktop/testNoUI.ai"));
   dc.closeNoUI();

   After run it and open in Illustrator, we will find it used Web preset.
   We want to choose appropriate preset that we set.

   var dc = app.documents.addDocumentWithDialogOption(“Art & Illustration”, false);
   //add some objects
   dc.saveAs(File(”~/Desktop/testNoUI.ai“));
   dc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

   Above script works for creating, saving and close the document without UI. The document preset is localized, if you are using locale other than english, you should pass the localized name of preset to addDocumentWithDialogOption method.

2. app.selectTool('Adobe Intertwine Zone Marker Tool') does not work

   When I run the following script, the Adobe Intertwine Zone Marker Tool starts up and I can select the area where I want to change the overlap like the lasso tool. However, nothing happens after the selection.

   app.selectTool('Adobe Intertwine Zone Marker Tool')
   

   Expected Result

   The overlap of the selected area is changed.

   Actual Result

   The line will remain as if it was drawn with the lasso tool. The overlap is not changed.

   Enviroment

   • macOS 11.7
   • Illustrator 27.1.1

   An intended way of picking up the hidden Zone Marker tool via a script is to enter the Intertwine mode using these commands:

   app.executeMenuCommand('Partial Rearrange Make') — when an intertwine object is not created yet, and

   app.executeMenuCommand('Partial Rearrange Edit') — when the object already exists, as per comments by the OP.
