macro for screen capture
macro for screen capture
(OP)
Hi everybody.
I am trying to build an animation showing how the change of a dimensional parameter affects my model.
Since I can't find a better way to do that, I imagined a way by creating a macro that would change that parameter in small steps and record each one to a .jpg or .tiff file, but I don't know how to include the order to save the screen to a file, in the macro.
No need to say that this is my first experience with macros and VB.
Thanks to all answers and suggestions.
Roberto

RE: macro for screen capture
You can start record a video file (choosing a convenient codec) and after that launch your macro who will change your parameter.
Try to record first a simple macro, changing what parameter you want in your CATPart, maybe it will work.

I figured out a workaround using ferdo's suggestion and it worked!
I made a macro asigning different values to my parameters with execution-stop (F9) at every update, then started recording my viewport and, step by step run the macro, getting 2-3 frames per step so after some clicks I got my animation.
