Full Version: Script request

Hi Michael
I am using ver 4 (which is brilliant thanks)

Can you please write me a script that
saves an output file as my current file name
to a specified output folder ( it will always be the same )
as an stl angle 3

king regards
shayne

Hi shayne, are you on Mac or Windows?

Windows Thanks Michael

Hi shayne, here you go:

script: var folder = 'c:\\scripts\\'; var filename = moi.geometryDatabase.currentFileName; if ( filename ) { var index = filename.lastIndexOf( '.' ); if ( index != -1 ) { filename = filename.substr( 0, index ) + '.stl'; filename = folder + moi.filesystem.getFileNameFromPath( filename ); moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs( filename, 'NoUI=true;Angle=3' ); } }

Edit this part:
var folder = 'c:\\scripts\\';

to put in your output folder.

Note that to make a backslash character (\) there you will need to put in two backslashes because it's used as an escape character.

Hi Michal

Hi shayne,

re:

Yes, try this one:

script: var folder = 'c:\\scripts\\'; var filename = moi.geometryDatabase.currentFileName; if ( filename ) { var index = filename.lastIndexOf( '.' ); if ( index != -1 ) { filename = filename.substr( 0, index ) + '.stl'; filename = folder + moi.filesystem.getFileNameFromPath( filename ); moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs( filename, 'NoUI=true;Angle=3' ); } moi.copyTextToClipboard( filename ); }

Hi Michael
It copied the full path c:\to print\filename.stl

I just need the filename only if that is possible without any .stl or .3dm
Thanks

Hi shayne, try this one:

script: var folder = 'c:\\scripts\\'; var filename = moi.geometryDatabase.currentFileName; if ( filename ) { var index = filename.lastIndexOf( '.' ); if ( index != -1 ) { var basename = filename.substr( 0, index ); filename = basename + '.stl'; filename = folder + moi.filesystem.getFileNameFromPath( filename ); moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs( filename, 'NoUI=true;Angle=3' ); moi.copyTextToClipboard( moi.filesystem.getFileNameFromPath(basename) ); } }

Thanks Michael

it errors

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: basename

line 1

1: >> var folder = 'D:\\To Print Morris and Watson\\'; var filename = moi.geometryDatabase.currentFileName; if ( filename ) { var index = filename.lastIndexOf( '.' ); if ( index != -1 ) { filename = filename.substr( 0, index ) + '.stl'; filename = folder + moi.filesystem.getFileNameFromPath( filename ); moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs( filename, 'NoUI=true;Angle=3' ); moi.copyTextToClipboard( moi.filesystem.getFileNameFromPath(basename) ); } }

If its too hard to do don't spend any time on it
cheers

Hi shayne,

re:

It looks like you only copied the last piece of the above script?

You are missing this part in the new version above:

script: var folder = 'c:\\scripts\\'; var filename = moi.geometryDatabase.currentFileName; if ( filename ) { var index = filename.lastIndexOf( '.' ); if ( index != -1 ) { var basename = filename.substr( 0, index ); filename = basename + '.stl'; filename = folder + moi.filesystem.getFileNameFromPath( filename ); moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs( filename, 'NoUI=true;Angle=3' ); moi.copyTextToClipboard( moi.filesystem.getFileNameFromPath(basename) ); } }

Try copying the entire script from above not just the ending part.
