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 .cfs or .lua file to load. If the model does not exist, a new empty model is created with this name.

OPTIONS

--non-interactive
