Hi everyone, profane but tricky issue here:

I created a macro that creates several paths in the odb, and prints images of different points of views.

when I do this manually by doing doble click over a path in the paths list, I get the path highlighted in the viewport, and then, i get the path printed in the image.

The problem is: During the macro recording this doble clicking is not saved, and thus the path does not appear in the image.

Any Idea?

thanks

Ok n3l3,

I can tell u what I did:

Since it was no possible to record the path plotting I just recorded the movementes of the point of view, and sliced it into several macros. Then at the beginning of a macro I recorded the image printing. Thus I did in this order:

1 run macro that reaches the desired point of view.
2 plot path manually
3 run macro that saves picture and reaches the next point of view.
repeat 2 (with different point of view)
repeat 3 (different)

 
ummmmmmmm

not bad for now. lets see if somebody has a more advanced Idea..

thanks!!
