Image Capture Macro

[rstupplebeen]

I am recording a macro that:
1. Sets the background to white
2. Image capture
3. Sets the background back to the original color
I am hard coding in the background color so this is not mean to be elegant at all. When I record the image capture does not make it into the macro. Does anyone know the command? I figure someone else has done this already so if you have code that already works and are willing to share that would be great. Below is my code. Thanks

Without glancing at it myself right now, I recommend first looking into the SolidWorks API help for the word "image" and see if example code for this already exists.

What command are you using for image capture?

 

[TheTick]

Why not just use "Save As" with JPEG file-type to capture your image?

Retval = ModelDocExtension.SaveAs ( Name, Version, Options, ExportData, Errors, Warnings)

New name of the document' the file extension indicates any conversion that should be performed (for example, Part1.igs to save to IGES)

Honesty may be the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.
