scriptcontext.doc.Create fail

Scripting
1

Hi there,

i am trying to close the active document and open a new empty document without providing a template. Both fails under Rhino 7 for Mac SR 7.17. The script to open a new empty document, which works fine on windows looks like this:

def NewEmptyDocument():
    scriptcontext.doc.Create(None)
    scriptcontext.doc.AdjustModelUnitSystem(Rhino.UnitSystem.Millimeters, False)
    scriptcontext.doc.ModelAbsoluteTolerance = 0.01
    scriptcontext.doc.ModelAngleToleranceDegrees =  1.0
    return True

print NewEmptyDocument()

If i run this from the python editor on Mac, it returns True, however, no document is created at all. If i run this on Windows, it closes the active document and opens a new one with the settings provided in the script.

If i pass a valid (template) file name and path to scriptcontext.doc.Create(file_path) instead of using None, nothing happens.

I understand that Rhino for Mac can open multiple documents. Therefore i tried to close the current document first by scripting the command _Close. If i do this, Rhino for Mac asks me for a filepath which i do not know. The document i have open doesn’t have a file path as it has not been saved. If i run the command _Close and click on “Done”, nothing happens.

How to close the active document and how can i open a new empty document on Mac using Python ?

thanks,
c.
