Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi all,

I am using GH to create templates for making eyeglasses.  The process uses a pantograph approach for many (30+) steps.  Each stage requires us to make a template with pre-defined mounting holes.  What I'd like to do  is setup a GH definition for each step, so all I have to do is:

1 - import the flat line art of the design.

2 - "Set" the left/right eyeholes

3 - "Set" the outside profile

Then, GH would export (or sendToLayer) the appropriate curve & mounting hole combinations for each template.  I have attached a sample layout where "EHT" and "OPT" are the desired geometry to export. 

My main question:

Can I set up GH to "run" a whole sequence of a definition upon my pressing "run" or something?  For instance: press "run", GH says "select eye holes", I click them, GH says "Select outside profile", I click it, and GH spits out all the templates I have defined (preferably in a format such as "design1_EHT", "deign1_OPT" etc.)

Thanks so much in advance for any help!!!!!

OK, I'm soooo close...  I've setup the LocalCodeExport component, but the layer names aren't behaving the way I'd expect.  Anyone have any suggestions?
