Macro: options export TIFF

Macro
1

Hello

For TIFF registration of SoldiWorks (SW2014) parts:

In a macro we can set the following options:

  • Image Type
  • Compression Mode
  • Capture Type

as well as print capture options:

  • PPP
  • Sheet size

 

The only thing we can't do is check "Remove background" (See jpeg).

What is the "function" in the APIs to drive this box?

That's impossible:

Thanks for the info @Tomalan.

so I'm going to work around the problem via an INTEGRATION action (Axemble utility)

  1. I launch my existing macro (partial setting of TIFF export options)
  2. I activate a scene (Basic-Solid White) to overcome the background problem
  3. Enables Orientation: Isometric View
  4. Exports to TIFF in a specific directory

Hello

Not possible directly in SolidWorks indeed, but there are several solutions proposed here, see this answer and the following:
