Fulfill arguments for Rhino.Command -Print?

[Cd1]

I need to automate the -Print command, so that I run the code and the .pdf files I need just appear in the designated folder. Where can I find details on how to import the various arguments (Destination, Layout, Type of File, Filename, Scale etc) so i can code it properly? Command History only shows Print and the Print command brings up a big box with all the arguments, but I don’t want to type everything manually. Is there a source that explains how the various arguments are coded in Rhino commands?

by scripting you mean macro ?

you can develop your macro step by step with the macro editor:
_macroEditor
start with
-_print
first do each remaining step manually, then add it to the macro:

_-Print _Setup _Destination _Printer "Rhino PDF"

google to search this forum for this marco fragment:

check the macros posted here (color issue / bug)

V8 -_Print macro destination... FAX?

For a friend, just looking into setting up a PDF print macro. -_Print _Setup _Destination [image] Defaults to FAX!!! ??? Who faxes stuff these days? OK, hit Printer, have to put in "Rhino PDF": [image] Bunch of other options to set, but not important now, end up back here: [image] Hit Enter to “Go” - here’s what I get: [image] HUH??? Hit Cancel and get: [image] [image] So much fun… EDIT: in the WIP, at least the Fax doesn’t come up, Rhino PDF is correctly chosen…

Thank you Tom, this sort of command is exactly what I was looking for. But I could not find any index in Rhino literature to show what these commands do, I had to feel it out from the macro editor. Is there a list with all the commands, how they work and what arguments they take? The Rhino help for version 8 concentrates on GUI.
