Command Line Arguments for Launching CADFEKO

CADFEKO can be called via the command line. Use command line arguments to pass configuration information to CADFEKO.

If CADFEKO is launched and a file is specified, the model or .lua script is opened. Without any models specified, CADFEKO will start and display the start page.

Command-line options:
cadfeko [FILENAME] [OPTIONS]
FILENAME
Name of the .cfx or .lua file to load. If the model does not exist, a new empty model is created with this name.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Displays the help message.
--version
Print the version information and then exit.
--non-interactive
Special execution mode for running automation scripts without user interaction.
--run-script SCRIPTFILE
Specifies an automation script to load and run.
--configure-script CONFIGSTRING
Executes the string CONFIGSTRING before running the script specified in SCRIPTFILE. This option is only used with the “non-interactive” option.
--file-info [=OUTPUTFORMAT] FILENAME.CFX
Display the CADFEKO versions used to create and modify the file.
