Hi Damien, Hi all,

I found this discussion that almost perctly matches what i'm looking for, but much more complex i think.

I just need to export a list of breps to Iges format.

Igot your def and tried to tweack it by my self, but my scripting ignorance is huge¡¡ I'm having an error in a line that isn't even displayed in class window¡¡

Could you please take a look to the def, please...scripting is a new world for me and it's taking me to my knees¡¡¡ I know it is an old discussion but any help would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance. A

Your video is corrupt, so I can't see it. Honestly, I'm not sure what your running into. I've tested it on my end, so unless you can get the video to me through another medium or explain in more detail the steps you're doing I really can't help.

hi mario

so i watched your video and the problem is that in vb it is not common to have spaces between the names of a path
so for example @ your pathname : documents and settings\ should be
documents_and_settings\
so currently the files have been written in a folder called c:\documents

Whenever you have a macro and you need to have something with a space in it (it could be a file name like this one, but it could also be a phrase in a Text Dot or something), you need to encase that phrase in quotes so that Rhino doesn't think that the space is an enter for the next part of the command.

The easiest way to get around this is to just put one double quote before the path and another after the file extension. If you think you might for get that if you reopen the file later on, you can change this pretty easy in the code by adding the following phrase Chr(34) before and after the file name in the macro. Just make sure there are ampersands (&) before and after each item in that line.
