want to take picture

(OP)
I have cgm file (having black background) & want to take picture of dwg but with white background. I tried to use command High quality image under view- visulization but when i shadow it i don't see anything.

RE: want to take picture

Par1,
   File, Export, (choice of gif, tiff, jpg, etc), click 'use white background', follow the bouncing ball...  This will create a picture for attaching to an email, etc.  If your taking a pic of the dwg sheet, any views added to the dwg that are shaded will NOT plot come through.  If you need pics of a shaded model, then just do the above in modeling, not while viewing the dwg.

CAD should pay for itself, shouldn't it?

RE: want to take picture

Have you tried importing the CGM into Word or any other CGM viewer and adjusting the brightness/contrast?  If that doesn't do the trick, make your drawing Monochrome and then export the CGM.

For a drawing, I'd recommend plotting the drawing to file (which makes a .ps PostScript file) then open the .ps file with Ghostview and convert to PDF.  Just make sure you're not plotting colors and everything should be black on a white background.

Export a cgm of the drawing; under "Colors" make sure it reads "Black on White".
