Open / Save / Export from RhinoApp.RunScript in Rhinocommon

nope, tbh I hadn’t, just reread it now and pasted. it works. the difference is the double \ slashes?

So i have to write code to edit my path string to double every slash to be able to open the file?

Path.GetFullPath(path).Replace(@"", @"\");

Ill give that a swing later today.

Hi Chris,

I’m trying to understand the problem you are having scripting the Open command, as this works in Rhino for Windows (for me):

// Literal
string filename = "C:\\Projects\\Robie House\\Floorplan.3dm";
string script = string.Format("_-Open \"{0}\"", filename);
RhinoApp.RunScript(script, false);

As does this:

// Verbatim
string filename = @"C:\Projects\Robie House\Floorplan.3dm";
string script = string.Format("_-Open \"{0}\"", filename);
RhinoApp.RunScript(script, false);

Note in each example the filename is eventually surrounded by double-quote characters. This is an important step, as some file path strings contain spaces.

Of course, to script any Rhino command from a plug-in, your command class must be decorated with the CommandStyle(Style.ScriptRunner) attribute. But it looks like you already know this.

Thanks. Yes. Ive followed all examples I could find but no result. Adding the extra slash cured it. Stumped if I know why though. However. Its solved now.

If there is something youd like me to test let me know. Im using rhinocommon 5 from the website and running latest rhino5 release candidate.

No worries, apology accepted :smile:

Hi @ChristopherBotha this is my core, you cant try it:

namespace Import
{
  //you must have this
  [
  System.Runtime.InteropServices.Guid("81cfa536-5e0e-47e5-9665-f644c237e362"),
  Rhino.Commands.CommandStyle(Rhino.Commands.Style.ScriptRunner)
  ] 

  public class ImportCommand : Command
  {
      public ImportCommand()
      {
          Instance = this;
      }
      public static ImportCommand Instance
      {
          get;
          private set;
      }
      public override string EnglishName
      {
          get { return "Import"; }
      }
      protected override Result RunCommand(RhinoDoc doc, RunMode mode)
      {
         string filename = @"D:\\temp\\test.3dm";
         RhinoApp.RunScript(String.Format("_-Import {0}", filename), false);
         return Result.Success;
      }
   }
}

Hi everyone! I was calling a method(contains export run code) from the script runner command. But caller command was not defined as script runner and I faced the exact error which @ChristopherBotha explained. So If you call the export containing method from another command be sure that the caller command is defined as script runner too.
