How do I launch Cure with a specified file.

[JoeJJJ3js 0]

I have a program that I want to call cura and load it with a specific .stl file.

is it just cura.exe c:\filepath\filename.stl

Also where can I find documentation on available switches that I can set at the command line when I launch cura?

Do you mean cura or the cura engine?

In case of cura; cura filename.stl

In case of curaEngine;

 

CuraEngine slice [-v] [-p] [-j ] [-s =] [-g] [-e] [-o ] [-l ] [--next] -v       Increase the verbose level (show log messages). -p       Log progress information. -j       Load settings.def.json file to register all settings and their defaults. -s =       Set a setting to a value for the last supplied object,        extruder train, or general settings.                                                                                                                                                                -l        Load an STL model.                                                                                                                                                                                  -g                                                                                                                                                                                                              Switch setting focus to the current mesh group only.
