I’m going to go dig around, but I just saw this is possible from an updated plugin and I want to add it to my batch plot…
So on further investigation, you are required to enable ‘views as references’ to make the plugin work (you also have to specify a template). Not ideal, but I guess that’s the way in…
I am exporting to shared coordinates but the views aren’t taking notice, I’m not sure why.
Any assistance gratefully received.
I’m using a modified Python from @Alban_de_Chasteigner via Archi-lab via Genius Loci, at the minute… Here’s it further edited…
