Export images render mode resets

General Questions
1

Hello,

everytime when we make layouts in VC, we have to make multiple screenshots for different departmens (e.g. construction, project management, robotics, plc,…). Since the resolution is the best when exporting images in VC, we only use this feature to export images. At the beginning of the session we set all the settings (resolution, file type, alignment and rendender mode). After every picture we export, the window closes and forces us to set the render mode again to the right setting. I was told that in previous versions of VC the window for image-export stayed open after completing the export. Now, it closes after every export and resets the render mode which we have to set again after every picture. This becomes kind of anoying when exporting 5-10 pictures after every change of the layout. Is there a way to avoid this additional effort?

Thank you.
Best wishes.

You could use command to export bitmap, so that you can have same width, height, image format

from vcScript import *

app = getApplication()
cmd = app.findCommand("saveBitmap")
cmd.execute("file:///C:\\temp\\test1.png", "png", 1920, 1080)

Ok, thank you very much for your reply.
Would i then also be able to set the render mode?
How would you suggest to use this command in VC?

I think this can be only done by vcView.ShadingRender, before capture the image, add a view, set ShadingRender mode, use vcApplication.useView to load the view again.
