      Hi
      Im new to the forum. And have done a little ruby scripting related to automated exporting of dae models... So im a bit lost here with what seems like a simple thing.

      With a dae export I found these options listed in a forum topic:
      options_hash = {
      :triangulated_faces => true,
      :doublesided_faces => true,
      :edges => false,
      :materials_by_layer => false,
      :author_attribution => false,
      :texture_maps => true,
      :selectionset_only => false,
      :preserve_instancing => true }

      status = model.export 'mycollada_model.dae', options_hash
      That is great.
      And now I want to import dxf files with a ruby script and control the import options like above.
      I have search around for a list of option tags and came up empty.
      My questions for the forum is:

      1. How do we list the option tags from the App? In the Ruyby consol I would like to iterate through
        Sketchup.importers or something like that to get all the importers and call 'options' to get a list of options. It seems there is a disconnect on getting these from that App level.
      2. My other question more specifically...what are the options for the dxf importer?

      Thanks in advance.
      -Reed

        Unfortunately only some exporters accept a hash as arguments.
        To the best of my knowledge DXF is not one of them.
        The last options set manually are always used irrespective of the passed arguments... πŸ˜•
