Hi All, I’m trying to export my drawings to PDF using Python. I’ve found the example below, but the AddPageView line return ‘None’. It’s a simple enough function I don’t know what to try… but I tried executing the code before and after saving the document - in case that made a difference. def PDFE…

Hi @Gerrard_Hickson , below works for me either using python 2 or 3 in the old and new editor: import Rhino import scriptcontext def PDFExport(): dpi = 300 pdf_settings = Rhino.FileIO.FilePdf.Create() layout_name = "A4_Miller" page_height = 210 page_width = 297 # Crea…

I’m using VScode and I can’t get scriptcontext or rhinoscriptsyntax working… Any suggestions there?

Hi @Gerrard_Hickson , below works without using scriptcontext for me: import Rhino def PDFExport(): dpi = 300 pdf_settings = Rhino.FileIO.FilePdf.Create() layout_name = "A4_Miller" page_height = 210 page_width = 297 # Create a new view for printing doc = Rhino.Rhi…

OK, so I’ve tried this a few different ways, and I’m still getting a problem. In my case, the doc object is passed into the function. doc is created via the CreateHeadless method, but I’ve also tried using the Create method - neither work. I also tried assigning the doc objct using Rhino.RhinoDoc.…

Hi @Gerrard_Hickson , This seems to work in a Rhino-controlled document. #! python 2 import Rhino import scriptcontext def AddLayout(): scriptcontext.doc.PageUnitSystem = Rhino.UnitSystem.Millimeters page_views = scriptcontext.doc.Views.GetPageViews() page_number = 1 if page_views:…

[image] Dale Fugier: doc.Views.GetPageViews() Hi Dale, thanks for the reply. In my case len(doc.Views.GetPageView()) returns 0… Also - I’m using VSCode, how do I access scriptcontext? I’ve managed to avoid it so far, but it feels more trouble to avoid than its worth. Cheers

I can’t help with VSCode - sorry. I’m just using Rhino’s built-in editors. [image] Gerrard Hickson: how do I access scriptcontext? When Rhino runs your script, scriptcontext is available to it. – Dale

In that case, do you have an example that doesn’t use scriptcontext or can you offer any reason why the examples above wouldn’t work on my system?

Hi @Gerrard_Hickson , Like I said, I cannot help with VSCode. What is your requirement to use it? Thanks, – Dale

Familiarity, convenience, so far, it’s done everything I need and I haven’t found a reason not to use it… The end result of my project will be a standalone python script that carries out a number of functions - a significant part of which requires interactions with Rhino. Are you suggesting that t…

LOL, no, I am just asking questions.

Can I assume, since you’re outside of Rhino, that you’re using Rhino.Inside Python? Or are you doing something else?

Thanks,
