  • name: The base name for the exported file(s). This supports evaluation. More information here.
  • directory: The target folder for exported files.
  • extensions: Comma-separated list of file extensions to export to (e.g., pdf,dxf).
  • search: Search query to find files for export.
  • recursive: If set, search will include subfolders.
