Question

IsoDraw commandline?

Are there any IsoDraw users out there? I see it is labeled an Arbortext
product (rather than PTC) so I think this is a valid question here 😉

Anyway, I'm looking for documentation on command line parameters. I didn't
find anything in the help file.

yep, exactly the problem I'm seeing

Any idea if IsoDraw plays well when run asa chron job/service on a
server? If it starts in the background to say convert a bunch of files
nightly, does it require a monitor/display device to work?

To keep your computer usable while the batch runs, you might try using
the windows "start" command with the /LOW switch, which sets the
priority of the process to low (equivalent to IDLE). If you want to
suppress the command window as well, add the /B switch. For full
details, open a Windows command prompt and type "help start".

I have to run another batch pretty soon so I'll experiment again. Seemed like the problem I had was that I was using the commandline to open a particular file and run a macro. Each time the command was actually run, the IsoDraw window would again pop up and take front-and-center.
