How come my JPGOUT command does not work.

P.S - i'm using ACAD 2000i

Thanks

There is a command "BMPOUT". It will output a bitmap image (.bmp). You can convert the BMP to JPG in Paint (or any image editting software).

However, if you want a high quality output, you can add a "plotter" that prints jpegs.

To do this, go to File/Plotter Manager and open "Add a Plotter Wizard". Hit "Next" twice, then choose "Raster File Formats". Then choose "Independent JPEG Group..." for the model. Then hit "Next" until you finish the new plotter.

It will then appear as a .pc3 file that you can choose for printing. It will allow you to plot any jpeg to a file.

Thanks for you help. I knew about the BMPOUT command just too lazy to convert in paint :oops:

I tried JPGOUT (and JPEGOUT), but it nothing happens. I also searched in the Help file, but there was no results.

I don't think JPGOUT is a standard AutoCAD 2000i command. You may have used a lisp routine or third-party software.

The JPGOUT command wasn't introduced until AutoCAD 2004. You can, however, export to the WMF format using wmfout.[/img]

Are you sure you want JPG file format? This is a lossy format and will result in sloppy looking vector linework.

See: http://www.dotsoft.com/procedures.htm#PlotToRaster for assistance in setting up a raster output plotter. This is preferred to the xxxOUT commands.

Many thanks for your help guys!

The only reason for JPEG is so i can e-mail the customers their drawings. Only if they don't have CAD but i found another way.

Thanks again

In that case, JPG is probably the worst choice. You should look into PDF, or DWF for sending your drawings.

I realise this so i have got hold of a PDF convering program. Much better :D
