-_Print options missing

Putting this in a separate post…

The following options are absent from the -command line version of -_Print

  1. In the Margins section, a “centered” option
  2. The dialog version has a checkbox to open the PDF after saving (with your default PDF app). This needs to be implemented in the macro version.
  3. There might be others, still playing with it

There are many many others. The print command has so many options that it became so large that we essentially stopped adding dash options to the command several versions of Rhino ago. If you want to customize every aspect of printing, I would recommend we explore the possibility of writing small scripts.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the explanation… I looked for example the doc in RhinoIO and didn’t see many oprions for PDF writing of geometry… I was trying to figure out a macro that would set some preset options for laser cutting for example, so that one could use that and not have to worry that some previous setting one had used for paper printing - like non 1:1 scaling, which would be disastrous for laser cutting - would accidentally get used.

They also would like to ‘print’ (or export) only selected objects, but -Export doesn’t have any options that are macro-settable relative to printing. I’d be happy to be able to script some of this stuff.
