Try to use

-_Export <filepath> _Enter

command with the lunchbox' component.

Hi Mateusz,

Thanks for the advice.

Can I ask what pdf printer you are using? Mine pops up everytime in spite of my efforts. Furthermore, the GH window is blocked after the print and I have to restart it.

Furthermore, I need one additional improvement - I would like to perform this action automatically and recursively. Each time Grasshopper computes some geometry, I want it to be exported to a separate .pdf file.

Additionaly, what about all the settings from Rhino? Like page size and position?

Does anyone have any idea?

Thank you very, very much in advance!
Best,
Ewa

Hi,

there was a similar question some weeks ago:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/print-layout-from-gh

I used the PDF-XChanger.

You can set up a Layout and print it with a command line like this: "-Print Setup View Viewport YourLayout"

That worked for me.

Best

Bene
