Export Image Files


Recommended Posts

I am experiencing problems export bitmap files including jpeg and tiffs.

1. In some files an area far larger than the extent of the objects and the current extent of the page is exported.

2. Sometimes images are badly scrambled.

I am using VW 8.5.2, OS 9.0, 160Mb of built in RAM. I have recently upgraded to Quicktime 5. Could this be a source of the problem?

Yes that could be a source of problems. Can you tell me exactly how to reproduce the problem?

Thanks

On attempting to reproduce the problem I haven't gotten the badly garbled jpegs that I did earlier.

However I have created an example where an export from the this file

ftp.colman.stephenson.org/SSGB%20CONCEPT%20OPTION%20H

Produced a jpeg:

ftp.colman.stephenson.org/SSGB%20CONCEPT%20OPTION%20H.JPG

that was not the same dimensions as the current printable area and truncated at the top.

A Screenshot of the printable area can be found at:

ftp.colman.stephenson.org/Picture%204

I am finding exporting jpegs unpredictable while exporting TIFFs (for example, from this file) quickly runs into memory errors.

I have 160/202Mb of built-in/virtual RAM. 48Mb to VW.

I am running 9.0 and VW 8.5.2 with, as mentioned QT5

Quicktime 5 is fully compatable with VectorWorks, however you must make sure that you install the QuickDraw 3D component of QuickTime

This is a know bug in the image importing code when dealing with large images. In order to work around it you need to use a 3rd partty program to convert the image to PICT format and then import it using the import PICT command.
