    Hi,

      I want to convert the .dwg file to .bmp in AutoCAD 2013 using interop services in API

     

    I have a code to perform this in AutoCAD 2012 but that is not working fine in AutoCAD 2013. Can anyone help me in this regarding.

     

     

    This is what i tried

     

    AcadSelectionSet oSS = null;
    short[] ftype = new short[1];
    ftype[0] = 410;
    object[] fdata = new object[1];
    fdata[0] = "Model";
    acadapp.ZoomExtents();
    oSS = _acadapp.ActiveDocument.SelectionSets.Add("MySet");
    oSS.Select(AcSelect.acSelectionSetAll, null, null, ftype, fdata);

    acadapp.ActiveDocument.Export(OutputFileName, "BMP", oSS);

    Hi,

     

    use the plot-functionality, that gives you more options (espcially the resolution) for the output.

    Hi,

     

    create a new plotter (with the new plotter-wzard) that creates raster-files (>>>details<<<)

    Then search for source-code controlling plotting, e.g. >>>click<<<.

    Or you can send the BMPOUT command to the commandline.

    Hi all,

    Finally Found Solution, the code i used is follows

     

    AcadSelectionSet oSS = null;
    short[] ftype = new short[1];
    ftype[0] = 410;
    object[] fdata = new object[1];
    fdata[0] = "Model";
    _acadapp.ZoomExtents();
    oSS = _acadapp.ActiveDocument.SelectionSets.Add("MySet");

    _acadapp.ActiveDocument.Export(OutputFileName, "BMP", oSS);

    KillAcadDocuments(_acadapp);

     

     

    just send the selection set as null, this is Exporting the BMP.

     

    Thanks all for helping me...
