Question about automation

I’m new working with the Sketchup API and I’m trying to ascertain its capabilities.

You will need to learn core Ruby and especially working with the IO class and it’s File subclass. (The latter inherits methods from it’s superclass.)

The question is wether is there a way to execute the plugin/command the moment the program starts, like a OnStartup event or something as such, so that it can do these exportations with a certain autonomy.

You would likely use:

• Sketchup::AppObserver class

… combined with command line switches to start SketchUp …
