Command Input - File name

autodeskguest over 17 years ago

Just wondering if anyone knows if it there is a command for the command line

that will insert the file name. I want to export an image of the board and

use the file name as the name for the file. I want to write a script file

so I need it to grab the current drawing name and append .png to the end of

it. Below is an example of export image command at 300dpi.

export image DRAWING_NAME.png 300;

Thanks in advance.

You need a ULP.

I've played around some time ago and came up with the following for
schematics.

For boards you would need to select the layers you want in you image
first.

void main ()
{
string s, t;
int    as;

if (!schematic) {
    dlgMessageBox("Schematics only (for now)", "OK");
    exit (0);
}

else {
    sheet(SCH) {
      as = SCH.number;
    }

    schematic(S) {
      S.sheets(SCH) {
        sprintf(t, "edit .s%u; export image '%s.%u.tif' 300;",
SCH.number, S.name, SCH.number);
        s = s + t;
      }
    }

    sprintf(t, "edit .s%u;", as);
//    dlgMessageBox(s);
    exit(s + t);
}
}

Thanks for the example Lorenz. I added in some code and have it export the
board image.
