How can i set a task/operation to create file JPG from SLDDRW with correct layout and format?

Davide Donati Jul 9, 2014 5:06 AM

Hi everyone,

i have a problem, my company needs to have files JPG from SLDDRW. We have EPDM, and it can create a TASK for that.

But task doesnt read the file format(A3, A4). Then when i launch the task from epdm, it create a JPG with random layout(most of the time its wrong).

How can i set in the task the operation to read the format of the SLDDRW?

I want the JPG in the correct layout, but it seems epdm cant do that, or maybe its possible to configurate from advanced scripts.

Can someone help me? Thanks!

Perform a manual SaveAs from Solidworks and choose "Options" after choosing the JPEG filetype. You can set you options here to perform a Print Capture instead of a screen capture that should help. In the task code you should be able to set the options using API but I do not know for sure. If you set these options manually then the automated task will use them until they are changed again. You can also leave it at screen capture and make sure your task performs a "Fit to Screen" first.

  SolidWorks has the possibility to set the format, ok.
  I need a TASK in EPDM for that, now i'm sure it use the last format saved in SolidWorks.
  I think EPDM can't does this operation in complete indipendence.
