DWG to BMP or JPEG

[jamesvue1981]

Anyone know of an easy way to turn autocad files into a Bitmap file or Jpeg.

Try the export command. You can export your drawing to a .BMP that way.

You can also use the bmpout command

if you need a high quality image you'll probably want to set up a plotter for image export thru the "Add-A-Plotter Wizard".

Hi

Please note I've *moved* this thread from the CAD Mgmt. General Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike
