Hi just wondering if anyone can help me convert AutoCAD 2010, dwg's into jpeg's.

The reason being I require them to be jpeg's so I can place them into my online portfolio.

 

Thankyou

Jpgout is a command which saves a jpeg of your current autocad view.

 

You could also go File -> Export -> Save as Bitmap

 

Otherwise the Printscreen key on your keyboard could also be used.

If you're using AutoCAD 2009, as your profile says, you'll need to convert the 2010 drawings to 2007 format. You can download Autodesk's TrueView from their Web site for free, and it will convert drawings for you.

 

One of your default plotters should be PublishToWeb JPG. Pick your image size, resolution, and scale. Provide a folder and file name. You're done.

Do you have access to CAD? If not send them to me and I'll take a look.

The best way is to print to jpeg in AutoCAD.

I certainly hope someone shows you HOW to do this rather than does it for you. This should have been covered in your class. (I have my students create an on-line ePortfolio of their work. Current student work-in-progress examples -

i think this guy wanted Render

 

have you used render yet?

its easy find the render tab

and hit render icon with the teapot

and it will render the current view of your drawing with lighting as if in real life

you can see an arrow that points down with the title render

clicking on that will display a set of tools to adjust render settings like resolution and quality

the render time depends on your computer specifications

you will also notice an arrow that points down at a 45 degree angle

clicking on that will open advanced render settings

from there you have an even richer set of parameters to adjust your render

if your using light and outside sun

be sure global illumination light bulb is yellow/on

and final gather set to ON

Nah, I asked to see his files as I thought that might be the case but they were 2D drawings. This is why I posted how to do it here. In case someone else asks again.

What type of drawings are you trying to add to your online portfolio? What is the portfolio's use? I agree with JD Mather
