OK, I'm going to have to work around this for a while. My problem is that I
support a large community of users, with a package that uses LDraw to construct
3D data charts as an add-on to Microsoft Excel. Built into the nmacro code is
the full conversion suite that converts and renders the data as a POVRay image.
This means I need an LDraw to POVRay converter that can be called as a
parameterized program service, not something run though a user interface.

I guess when I get time I'm going to have to work out a way to do this via
LDView. As a first step, does anybody know if the LDView conversion can be
invoked as a command-line request or through a program call?

(...) Yes, LDView can be used via command-line. This is how LPub uses it. The reference is in the help file that comes with LDView. I think the Travis put some stuff in there to mimic L3P commands as well. -Orion (13 years ago, 27-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) For what it's worth I wrote a tutorial for batch-filing LDView: (URL) used to create the thumbnails for my site. Admittedly it is a bit out of date but hopefully gets you the idea. w. (13 years ago, 28-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I have just looked into the documentation of LDView and it seems that snapshots can be taken by batch but not export. cu mikeheide (13 years ago, 28-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
