(API) Command VBA Projection Capture of a view

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a problem with my macro. The command of projection in 3D doesn't work. My view stay in XZ plane.

robapp.Window.Activate
Set mavueRobot = robapp.Project.ViewMngr.CreateView(1)
mavueRobot.Projection = I_VP_3DXYZ


mavueRobot.Visible = True
mavueRobot.Redraw (True)

I want also make a capture of my model with diagram of results. Have you an example of code for it ?

I would like to get for final result the exemple in attachment.

Hi @Rafal.Gaweda,

I did the same. I copied the screen capture on to the clipboard and tried to paste it in Excel. It doesn't work. The screen capture is in what format? I am unable to get that. 

if (Clipboard.GetDataObject() != null)
{
IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();

if (data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap))
{
Image image = (Image)data.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap, true);

image.Save("image.bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
image.Save("image.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
image.Save("image.gif", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("The Data In Clipboard is not as image format");
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("The Clipboard was empty");
}

When I try the above snippet of code, it shows that the data in clipboard is not in image format.

I am trying to paste the contents of clipboard like this:

xlWorkbook.Sheets["Results"].Range("B" + D * 45).Paste();

But this doesn't work. It throws an error. I somehow feel it is due to the format of the clipboard contents.

I have been able to do it in VBA though.

Call InsPicFromClipbrd("B" & M * 45, TitleName)

This works great. 

Could you please help me resolve this for my C# code?

Hi @Rafal.Gaweda,

I also tried to save the screenshot as a.rtf file as follows:

RobotMapView.MakeScreenCapture(SSParams);
string fichier_sortie = "C:\\Users\\KOCH2401\\OneDrive Corp\\OneDrive - Atkins Ltd\\Desktop\\outjpg.rtf";
robotApplication.Project.PrintEngine.SaveReportToFile (fichier_sortie,IRobotOutputFileFormat.I_OFF_RTF_JPEG);

This does create the .rtf but it is blank. No screenshot. Just some text. Could you also please tell me why this is happening? 

Thanks!

Hi,

It may not be a robot API topic directly but, how can I paste image from clipboard in a word file?

Thks in advance

hi @Anonymous 

You can find a code in VBA below. Take care to regularly inspect the clipboard.

Sub Copy_RobotCapture_To_WordDocument()
  ' Word
  Dim wordApp As Word.Application
  Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
  Dim paragraph As Word.paragraph

  Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
  Set wdDoc = wordApp.Documents.Add
  
  ' Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis
  Dim RobApp As IRobotApplication
  Dim ViewMngr As IRobotViewMngr
  Dim ExportView As RobotView
  Dim ScPar As RobotViewScreenCaptureParams

  Set RobApp = New RobotApplication
  If RobApp.Visible = False Then
    Set RobApp = Nothing: Exit Sub
  End If
  
  Set ViewMngr = RobApp.Project.ViewMngr
  For i = 1 To ViewMngr.ViewCount
    If ViewMngr.GetView(i).Window.IsActive <> 0 Then
      ActiveViewNumber = i: Exit For
    End If
  Next i
  Set ExportView = ViewMngr.GetView(ActiveViewNumber)
  ' -------------
  ' Do something
  ' -------------
  Set ScPar = RobApp.CmpntFactory.Create(I_CT_VIEW_SCREEN_CAPTURE_PARAMS)
  ScPar.UpdateType = I_SCUT_COPY_TO_CLIPBOARD
  ScPar.Resolution = I_VSCR_2048
  ExportView.MakeScreenCapture ScPar
  
  Set paragraph = wdDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Add
  paragraph.Range.Text = " "
  paragraph.Range.Paste
  paragraph.Range.InsertParagraphAfter
    
  wordApp.Visible = True
  Set wdDoc = Nothing: Set wordApp = Nothing
  Set RobApp = Nothing
End Sub

Best regards

Salut @Rafal.Gaweda 

Est-ce que c'est possible avec l'API de capturer les valeurs min/max en couleur rouge et vert sur un diagramme avec un code ?
