glynowen81 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 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 Glyn Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organic Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 in AutoCAD, type in JPGOUT and follow the prompts on the commandline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberAngel Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f700es Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 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. Sean f700es(at)yahoo(dot)com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 .... I need to download on my portfolio for employment... 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.

Raudel Solis Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f700es Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 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. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 What type of drawings are you trying to add to your online portfolio? What is the portfolio's use? I agree with JD Mather I certainly hope someone shows you HOW to do this rather than does it for you. This should have been covered in your class.
