Invantive Studio is operated from its window; the command line carries the two options shared by every Invantive program with a window. They are meant for automation and for support. Available from release 27.0. An option is written as `/name` or `/name=value`. The forms `-name` and `--name` are accepted as well, and a colon may be used instead of the equals sign, so a command written for another Invantive product keeps working. A value holding spaces is put between double quotes, together with the name of the option. Options are not case sensitive and may be given in any order; an argument which is no option of the product is ignored. ## Asking for the Usage ``` Invantive.Producer.Studio.exe /help ``` The usage is written to the console of the shell that started the program. Invantive Studio is a windows application and has no console of its own, so it attaches to the one of the shell; when it is started without a shell, for instance from the Start menu, the usage is shown in a window instead. The program ends directly afterwards. `/?` and `/h` do the same, as do `-h` and `--help`. The usage lists exactly the options below: it is composed from the same declarations with which the product reads its command line, so the two can not drift apart. ## Marking a Special Run A run which is not a person going about their work - an automated run, a test, a demonstration, or a session driven by an assistant - can be marked, so the title bar of every window shows it: ``` Invantive.Producer.Studio.exe /signal="AI STARTED" ``` This is the same marker as the environment variable `INVANTIVE_RUN_SIGNAL`; the option marks this one run and leaves the environment of the shell alone. See [[Run Signal]] for what it does, which products carry it, and how a window without a title bar shows it. ## Choosing a Repository The repository holding the models can not be chosen on the command line. It is chosen in the log on window and is defined, together with its credentials, in [[Settings]] and [[Invantive Keychain]]. ## See Also - [[Invantive Studio/Installation|Installation]] - [[Environment Variables]]
