- 24/06/2015 Optimised performance. If file name format only require #PAGE_NAME, no need to process text objects on layout. Layout Properties are processed at the very beginning of the script.
- Update:
- 23/04/2018 Fixed Rhinoceros 6. Attempted to optimize performance. using WaitForFile. WaitforFile is useful, however, using scriptcontext to react to users Escape key press is preferred. Bullzip writes a package of files into the TEMP folder containing the pdf and some postscript files. This folder gets deleted upon completion. The postscript process takes a long time, however, unable to find a way to optimise the speed of the print. Tried reading the status.ini file inside the TEMP folder.
