draughtsman2001 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi I am wanting to create an animation of an autocad drawing form start to finish. I think the best way would be to write an autolisp program saving the drawing every 10mins or say 40 commands as a bitmap into individual files which can be combined as an animation. I have no idea how to write this autolisp program....can anyone help? Thanks... Bill sorry i think i might have put this in the wrong forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Mac Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Easier way - look into Camtasia - best program for this sort of thing: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp The free trial should do what you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CADMASTER1128 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 You may want to also look into a program called HyperCAM... There is a free version but you have to put up with a line of text that say "Unregistered HyperCAM" It's small and no big deal to me.

ReMark Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 You could also do it as a script file then play the script back. We used to do this at public information sessions using a series of drawings called up on the computer, in a particular sequence, displayed for a short period of time, then replaced by the next drawing. The script was written to "loop" the entire sequence over and over completely unattended until such time as a key combination would stop the display.
