DWG to JPG

[Anonymous]

I am trying to convert dwg to jpg. When I select all in layout view then enter COMMAND - JPGOUT I get the title and text but not the drawing. I've tried doing this in Model view i.e, select all - COMMAND - JPGOUT, I can view the drawing this way however, I need everything to be together in layout view. Can anyone offer advise on this please. I've attached two images fyi.

JPGOUT command is a model-only tool: but you can use PLOT command from a layout, there is a built-in JPG driver installed by default in every AutoCAD seat on the planet unless you deleted it. Just change the resolution settings to suit your needs.

No, not at all. I just want to convert DWG to JPG using COMMAND - JPGOUT.
However my drawing which is already scaled is not showing, but the title
block and text are showing.

What is 'OTTO'? I don't understand your response, sorry.

"Otto" is the "person" to whom you replied in post 4.

I figured your post 4 reply was in response to the totally inaccurate answer that "Otto" gave in post 2.

Oh I see. Thank you, and actually my response was to the suggestion given
by OTTO....

Hi @Anonymous,

Otto is a help bot, which attempts to use natural language in the initial post to provide answers very quickly to common questions on this board. We are in the process of gathering feedback and updating its recognition's. I have noted the error here and submitted the changes necessary to cause it to not respond in the way it did based on the context of your post.

Please refer to @pendean's post for a much more relevant answer in this case.

Hi @Anonymous,

I think the prompt for this command might be a bit confusing. When I am in paperspace I type JPGOUT. If I type All it gives me everything in paperspace. If I just hit a return after typing JPGOUT then it gives me everything in paperspace and the viewport contents.

Please select the Accept as Solution button if my post solves your issue or answers your question.

Thank you Dean. I didn't delete it :~)

Hi John,
When I type JPGOUT in Layout View I see only my Titleblock and Text, the
draft is not included. Are you suggesting I should be entering JPGALL in
Layout View in order to see everything?

When I type JPGOUT in Model Space I can see the draft however, that's not
what I need, I am trying to take the entire content from Layout View (Paper
Space) as a JPG.

Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated!!

Kind Regards,
Katharine 🙂

Hi,

>> When I type JPGOUT in Layout View

Repetition: have you seen/read post 3 here from @pendean, he clearly states this command is meant for model-space only, not for layout!

Plotting is the best and most efficient method to get layouts exported as raster file.

Yes, I totally understand what Dean was saying, thank you!! I was
responding to another comment in regards to JPGOUT.

Hi,

Well, what am I missing?

You know from @pendean that JPGOUT does not work for layouts, but you again ask "When I type JPGOUT in Layout View I see only my Titleblock and Text" ...? Why asking again when you already have got the answer that this can't work?

I really don't feel I need to explain myself repeatedly however, I asked my
question one time. If throughout this thread the issue was mentioned again
well, go figure, this is what is known in my world as clarification of
communication!

Hence the inherent problem with the default flat presentation of messages in this forum. Without quoting the post, it's difficult/impossible to tell who someone is replying to, then misunderstandings happen.

@Anonymous - FYI: you can change your forum settings so that you can see the threaded progression (see image below), which I like. But I don't like that it only shows one post at a time, and clicking to show other posts takes forever (it requires a page reload). So I stick with the flat thread display.

And of course, many (maybe most) people here don't understand threaded messages and just click the [REPLY] button at the top of the page, regardless of the message to which they are replying. In that case, the threads don't have much meaning anyway.

Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware of this until now!!
