SendCommand AutoCAD customization Python

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 09:08:05 GMT

Hi,

I would like to convert dwg to jpg with python script.

Currently, I am using Export function to convert to bmp, then to jpg

import win32com.client

acad = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch("AutoCAD.Application")

doc = acad.ActiveDocument

doc.Export(directory,"bmp", None)

The resolution from export function is quite low, so I would like to use plotter, but I have problem with SendCommand.

doc.SendCommand('_-PLOT ' Y' 'Model ' 'PublishToWeb JPG.pc3 ')

It doesn't work correctly. I know that in VBA SendCommand works with '& vbCr +'. How to implement SendComand in Python?

Is there another way to optain high resolution?

Is it because your -plot is to short

"-PLOT" "Y" "" "DWG To PDF" "Iso full bleed A3 (420.00 x 297.00 MM)" "m" "LANDSCAPE" "N" "W" "-6,-6" "807,560" "1=2" "C" "y" "Acad.ctb" "Y" "n" "n" "n" pdfName "N" "y"
