Thanks Adam, Looks like I missed the "--extents" command line somehow. I'll give that a try. Loren.

I'm not sure whether you mean you want to load QGIS with a project showing a particular location, or whether QGIS is already running and you want to use a command line to zoom the already running QGIS to that location. > Does anyone know of a method that this could be accomplished? If you are loading a new QGIS instance it looks like --extent will open it with a specific view? I'm not familiar enough with it to know what values to pass, but if you get the view how you want it then create a new spatial bookmark (on the View menu) and then look at the properties of that, it will show you the extents. They appear to be lat/long if that's what your CRS uses. If not, you might have to change the project CRS to one that uses lat/long. Note that I haven't tested this and I'm new to QGIS myself, so my apologies if this turns out to be incorrect. Cheers, Adam. _______________________________________________ QGIS-User mailing list QGIS-User@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
