BetterWMF and PaperSpace problem

BetterWMF and PaperSpace problem

BetterWMF and PaperSpace problem

(OP)
While using paperspace, I am having trouble (our stress department really, so it is my problem) getting the contents of a paperspace window to show up when pasted into a Word document.
I am trying to get a shift to using paperspace started, and this isn't helping.
The text and dimensions show up fine, but the "model" image does not.
BetterWMF2004.arx and AutoCAD 2005.
Any help/hints?
Thanks,
Mike

RE: BetterWMF and PaperSpace problem

The best option I can offer at this time is to select all in paper space, then use ExpressTools to ChangeSpace which puts them in ModelSpace, then bwmfout.

RE: BetterWMF and PaperSpace problem

Check your options. BWMFOPT I believe.

Thanks guys, I will give it a shot.
Would them running an evaluation copy cause it to act this way?
Thanks again,
Mike

RE: BetterWMF and PaperSpace problem

Not really that I know of.  BetterWMF is a utility that adds options and features to the standard Copy/Paste windows functionality.  It is not a screen capture, it copies entities or objects within the application.  The AutoCAD viewport entity has special features that are not dragged along with a copy/paste operation.  It has been a while since I used BetterWMF so I don't know if it can be set to include the image within the viewports.  Please let us know!!!

RE: BetterWMF and PaperSpace problem

(OP)
The general options dialog box has a box to check that says:
"In TILEMODE 0 do paperspace AND viewports"
That leads me to think that it should pick up whatever is in the viewport....
Would that be a correct assumption?
This trying to drag people kicking and screaming into the 20th century is getting old.
