Aftertouch Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hello all, Is it possible make a imagefile, of a block that i select? I know about the JPGOUT command, but this makes a rectangular image of the whole screen. I want a SQUARE image, of the block i select (Kinda like a thumbnail). Is this possible with LISP?

maratovich Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The JPGOUT command takes the size of AutoCAD window. Resize AutoCAD window, make a square, zoom in on object (block), run command JPGOUT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrm Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If an approximate square image is good enough (which is what you will be doing with the resizing the AutoCAD window method cited above) try using the Windows 10 Snipping Tool (search Snipping Tool or drag it to your desktop from the menu under Windows Accessories). I think it would be faster and easier. For an exact square image use MS Paint or GIMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftertouch Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hey Grrr, I found the program and it works. But it gives me a preview for a DCL? I just want to save a JPG image somewhere, dont use any form of DCL. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Use a screen grabber you can clip the area you want, for improved quality just make image larger. I use Gadwin. Also Plot "plot to web jpg" allows a window select and its already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Thanks Marko looks like it uses snipping tool direct. Cuts out the steps to open snipping tool and do new. Your never to old to learn something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
