CloudCompare forum

Hello,

I'd like to be able to programatically open CloudCompare (in GUI mode) with data preloaded. My desired workflow would be to run a script(?) then CloudCompare would open with my data loaded - does anyone know if this is possible??

Well, to do that there's a simple command line syntax where you just call 'CloudCompare.exe path_to/my_file.ext' (or equivalent executable on other OSes)

On Windows OS, put this in a batch file (MY.BAT)

"C:\Program Files\CloudCompare\cloudcompare.exe" "C:\myxyz\p1.csv"
or

"C:\Program Files\CloudCompare\cloudcompare.exe" -o "C:\myxyz\p1.csv" -COORD_TO_SF z -DELAUNAY
