Print or export to image an object from a drawing using C# / C++ Object ARX

Anonymous — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 07:01:48 GMT

Hello,

Is there a way to print or save to image a specific object in a drawing. I know the ObjectId of the object I need.

Thanks,

Mihail

I see three ways:

1. Remove (pEnt-> erase (true)) or hide (pEnt-> setVisible (false)) all other entities and then print window exactly boundingbox of the entity end restory all other entities.

2. Create another database and copy the selected entity in it, and then print this database.

3. Move selected entity far away other entities and print window exactly boundingbox of the entity, then move backwards

Hello Alexander,

Thank you for your reply, but I do not know how that helps me.

To make it more clear what I want to achieve, I have to export the images of the symbols available in the Autocad project. They are stored (at least for Autocad P&ID, which I have to use) in the projSymbolStyle.dwg file. I need the images as they are shown for example on the Tools Palette, and I want to be able to remove the background color, or at least set a custom one.

Thank you,

Mihail
