Import displaymode programatically in Rhino 6

In Rhino 5 I used to be able to import displaymodes using the OptionsImport command.

RhinoApp.RunScript("-_OptionsImport file.ini _AdvDisplay=Yes _Enter", false);

This no longer works in Rhino 6. .Ini files exported from Rhino 6 throw the error “The selected file is not a valid options file” when I try to import them back into Rhino 6. (.ini example here.)

The import button on the Rhino Options > Display Modes page works, but I need to be able to do this programatically. Is there a Rhinoscript/Rhinocommon solution for this in R6?

Thanks,

Jon

Oops, found it!

DisplayModeDescription.ImportFromFile()

Nicer than rhinoscript :slight_smile:

Hi Jon,

I´m looking to implement the import solution you found for Rhino 6. Fairly, a beginner with Rhino Common I don´t really know how to do it correctly. Can you help me out on this topic?

Kind regards,
