Export image from select objects Drawing Inventor 2020 -addin

[Anonymous]

HI All

I would need your help on the export image from Inventor drawing 2d.

We are want to write add-in that end-user can select the object from drawing 2D in Inverter than Click button Export.

C# will export the object from 2D drawing to image save to somewhere in the file server.

Please help me if you are professional on that 🙂 A thousand.

One guy have done it in AutoCAD but now we move AutoCAD to inventor we need to migrate this function to inventor too

thanks

Do you like to export the complete drawing as image or only the selection in the drawing?

HI 

Thank you for the reply. 

I only want a selection.

[bradeneuropeArthur]

That is more difficult.

The other option (Complete Drawing) is easier, so I need to take a deeper look at it and do some investigation.

I will reply when I have something.

HI ,

I have searched then see that. But I don't know how to convert it into C# do you have any idea about that?

I stay at this step. Sorry I just new dev don't have experience.

I could create an add in for it, but only with VB.net!

Please let me know what you prefer..

Okay. If that the only choice could you please give me the full source code of add-in

Thank you so much!!

The easiest and quickest way for this moment is to use a VBA macro in inventor.

With this you can already start today, and you don't have to wait.

thanks. I don't refer to use VBA. Macro.

C# will be more professional  and structure than Macro

If you know want code can export pictures from inventor 2020 from C# please share me! thanks

Hi,

The code for Vb.net is above.

For C# I don't have.

For the Vb.net add in you have to wait, or......

You need to provide me an vb.net add in where  I only have to add the specific code in it for you.

This means wou need to share an add-in with a toolbar for the ribbon and a button event.

Than I paste my code in it and that's it.

VBA is at least very easy and you don't have to wait till the add-in template is ready form your side.

Regards,
