Save as without dialog box?

[seghierkhaled]

Hello
I try to save hatch using makeHatch plugin without display the dialog box, is that possible?

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

file = r"C:....../test.pat"

command = "makeHatch X 1 Y 1 D 0.1 Enter test test "

rs.Command(command,True)

You should be able to run each command in scripted mode by prepending a - (dash) to the command name.

Difference between _SaveAs and _-SaveAs (Why a dash)

I am trying to save a DXF with a given name from within a script. According to most documentation the command should be: > _Saveas c:\users\don\documents\bb-1.DXF Scheme Default Enter This will bring up the file save dialog. In one example it gives the correct syntax of > _-Saveas c:\users\don\documents\bb-1.DXF _Enter and yay it finally works. What is the dash doing?

Thank you @menno , this is a vey helpful information.

The problem here is that makeHatch give only this line to save the file:

Save hatch as ( Browse ):
