Apprentice Camera Save As JPG - Error

[ianjwellings]

I'm trying to save a camera view of a model as a jpg. 

I've used these articles to produce my code:

https://modthemachine.typepad.com/my_weblog/training-material/

https://modthemachine.typepad.com/my_weblog/2013/09/working-with-cameras-part-2.html

But I keep getting this error:

Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 080004005 (E_FAIL)

This is my code, any help would be greatly appreciated:

Inventor.ApprenticeServerComponent oApprentice;

Inventor.ApprenticeServerDocument oApprenticeDoc;

Inventor.Camera oCamera;

oApprentice = new Inventor.ApprenticeServerComponent();

oApprenticeDoc = oApprentice.Open(@"C:\Inventor\eye004.ipt");
                   
oCamera = oApprentice.TransientObjects.CreateCamera();

oCamera.SceneObject = oApprenticeDoc.ComponentDefinition;
                    
oCamera.ViewOrientationType = Inventor.ViewOrientationTypeEnum.kIsoTopRightViewOrientation;
                                        
oCamera.Fit();
                    
oCamera.ApplyWithoutTransition();
                    
oCamera.Apply();
                    
TransientObjects oTo = oSvr.TransientObjects;
                    
Inventor.Color oTopColor = oTo.CreateColor(255, 0, 0);

Inventor.Color oBottomColor = oTo.CreateColor(255, 255, 255);
                    
oCamera.SaveAsBitmap("C:\\Temp\\eye004.jpg", 800, 600, oTopColor, oBottomColor);

@ianjwellings,

At glance, it shows that error is due to incompatibility of platform (x86). I am guessing that code is built on x86 platform. As Inventor 2019 removed to support for 32 bit platform, it is advised to use x64 bit platform to build code. Hoping that attached changes(64 bit.png) might help to fix the issue.

Please feel free to contact if there are any queries.

Thanks and regards,

Hi

I try to Export image using Apprentice method. As suggested i have update the X64 in the compile option

Still am not able to get the image using that method

Am getting the following error

Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))
