CATIA V5R20 Image Capture Batch Script

[bobroberts17e1]

Hello all!

Long time visitor to Eng-Tips here. This is my first post, but before I get into the question I want to thank such a fine community of engineers who have more than once gotten me out of a CATIA bind or other engineering related issue.

I have about 400 .CATPart files that I want to pull into the drafting workbench, change the line thickness and then take a screen capture of the resulting view.

Is there a way to do this in VBA? I'm a Mechanical Engineer by training, and so my programming is rusty. I have written a script that will do everything but change the line thickness and take the screen capture.

Does anyone know the syntax that should be used to accomplish this? I will post the hodge-podge of code that I have written so far tomorrow as it's currently at work.

Thanks!

Hi,
Why to take screen capture? You can save as tif...(or maybe another format, check function save as for drawings).
Can you post the code and give a little more details ?

why change line thickness, just create a new standard.
