Give file name to pngout

[aridzv]

Hi.

I need to use pngout command and give it a filename alredy stored in a varaible named "filename".

I searched for this issue but found no answer.

I use this line of code to lunch the pngou command:

ThisDrawing.SendCommand ("pngout" & vbCr)

at that point I get the "Save File" window.

How d I send the "filename" varible to the file name field in the save file window and simulate enter?

thanks,

aridzv

Whenever you need to respond to a file dialog programmatically, you can turn the dialog off by setting FILEDIA = 0. Then your code would look like 

ThisDrawing.SetVar "fildia" 0
ThisDrawing.SendCommand "pngout " & filename & vbCr
ThisDrawing.SetVar "fildia" 1

Note the space after pngout

Thanks!!!💪

 EDIT:

the line with the space in the pngout didnt work for me so I use it without the space...

ThisDrawing.SendCommand ("PNGOUT" & vbCr & fileName & vbCr)
