Export All Layouts in emf files

fst

in LISP

Dear All,

Is there any way to create a lsp files to export automatically all layouts from a dwg file as .emf different .emf files (1 per layout named as the layouts) including visible entities in the viewport of each layout.

This should work automatically without asking to name files or to select entities.

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards

    Hello.

    One approach could be to loop through layouts, enter model space, export to emf with selecting all entities, and returning to paper space.
    The name of the exported file could be automatically created from the name of the drawing and the name of the layout.

    However, this approach only exports the active viewport on a layout.

    If there are multiple viewports on a layout, the approach above is not useful.
    One way of working in this case could be to first export the layouts as separate dwg files and then export each dwg file to emf.

    The only way I could get a layout with viewport to work was to use Chspace pulling the objects into paperspace then using dwfout. The emf is not very nice not sure about that. Can you use a different image format ? JPG maybe, via plot.

    While I don't know if one exists for EMF, don't overlook the possibility of a specialized Windows System Printer driver to plot to files, in other words allowing BricsCAD to plot to the Windows Printer driver.
