Creating Vector Graphics from Realistic Visual Style Viewport

hillcofire_2 — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 21:01:42 GMT

I've dived into the forums and searched the internet for the answers, but no answers.

I have a project where I'm creating graphics in AutoCAD 2020. I then have the viewport (and sometimes model space) set to the Realistic Visual Style. This displays in AutoCAD exactly what I want to see. All the workflows and 3rd party programs I use to convert this to an EMF, WMF, SVG, or DXF either produces my graphic as a Wireframe Visual Style, or a high resolution raster image. I'm needing the Realistic Visual Style as a vectorized graphic so I can add it to a web-based display that zooms in and out without losing resolution and pixelating.

Any help?

AutoCAD is not a "vector graphics" capable software package. Sorry.

Hi,

>> needing the Realistic Visual Style as a vectorized graphic

Visual style "Realistic" means:

the 3D objects are display in a rendered environment (with shaders), with colors + maybe texture, illumination depending on lights (location, distance, light type)

What you can transfer as file is

either the geometry as vectors ... or
the rendered image as raster

but not raster + vector in one file.

If you can tell us more about the needs maybe we have some ideas.
