Could someone give me an example of passing multiple arguments to -D in command line? Passing this works: -D value_type=100 But this: -D "value_type=100,value_two_type=2" Or -D value_type=100 value_two_type=2 And similar variations, cause an error. What is the proper syntax?

Think of the ‘-D’ option as appending code to the end of the file, not passing a variable value in: openscad -D “value1=1;value2=\”a string\”” myCode.scad Try this: openscad -D “cube();” dummy.scad -o cube.stl …where “dummy.scad” only contains a comment. Very handy for dynamically generating content.

Ah thank you for clarifying! This is infinitely more useful than I originally thought! -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Multiple-arguments-to-D-in-command-line-tp13472p13474.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I just tried it, it works with: openscad -D v1=100 -D v2=50 -D v3=10 somefile.scad Jerry -- Extra Ham Operator: K7AZJ Registered Linux User: 275424 Raspberry Pi and Arduino developer *The most exciting phrase to hear in science - the one that heralds new discoveries - is not "Eureka!" but "That's funny...".*- Isaac.
