Export is a script to pick an export plugin and optionally print the output to a file.<br>
 <br>
The export manual page is at:<br>

<a name="Operation" id="Operation"></a><h2>Operation</h2>
<hr>

The default 'Activate Export' checkbox is on.  When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.<br>
 <br>
<a name="Settings" id="Settings"></a><h2>Settings</h2>
<hr>

<a name="Also Send Output To" id="Also Send Output To"></a><h3>Also Send Output To</h3>

Default is empty.<br>
 <br>
Defines the output name for sending to a file or pipe.  A common choice is sys.stdout to print the output in the shell screen.  Another common choice is sys.stderr.  With the empty default, nothing will be done.<br>
 <br>
<a name="Delete Comments" id="Delete Comments"></a><h3>Delete Comments</h3>

Default is on.<br>
 <br>
When selected, export will delete the comments.  The comments are not necessary to run a fabricator.<br>
 <br>
<a name="Export Operations" id="Export Operations"></a><h3>Export Operations</h3>

Export presents the user with a choice of the export plugins in the export_plugins folder.  The chosen plugin will then modify the gcode or translate it into another format.  There is also the "Do Not Change Output" choice, which will not change the output.  An export plugin is a script in the export_plugins folder which has the functions getOutput, isReplaceable and if it's output is not replaceable, writeOutput.<br>
 <br>
<a name="File Extension" id="File Extension"></a><h3>File Extension</h3>

Default is gcode.<br>
 <br>
Defines the file extension added to the name of the output file.<br>
 <br>
<a name="Save Penultimate Gcode" id="Save Penultimate Gcode"></a><h3>Save Penultimate Gcode</h3>

Default is off.<br>
 <br>
When selected, export will save the gcode with the suffix '_penultimate.gcode' just before it is exported.  This is useful because the code after it is exported could be in a form which the viewers can not display.<br>
 <br>
<a name="Alterations" id="Alterations"></a><h2>Alterations</h2>
<hr>

Export looks for alteration files in the alterations folder in the .skeinforge folder in the home directory.  Export does not care if the text file names are capitalized, but some file systems do not handle file name cases properly, so to be on the safe side you should give them lower case names.  If it doesn't find the file it then looks in the alterations folder in the skeinforge_tools folder. If it doesn't find anything there it looks in the skeinforge_tools folder.<br>
 <br>
<a name="replace.csv" id="replace.csv"></a><h3>replace.csv</h3>

When export is exporting the code, if there is a file replace.csv, it will replace the word in the first column by its replacement in the second column.  There is an example file replace_example.csv to demonstrate the comma separated format, which can be edited in a text editor or a spreadsheet.<br>
 <br>
<a name="Examples" id="Examples"></a><h2>Examples</h2>
<hr>

The following examples export the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl.  The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and export.py.<br>
 <br>
 <br>
&gt; python export.py<br>
This brings up the export dialog.<br>
 <br>
 <br>
