Screencapture macro with colored/transparent background

[Berglid]

Hi,

Would like to request a macro for screencaptures with either transparent or selectable background color. The transparent/colored background is mainly due to match background colours with our default background color for PowerPoint presentations.

-Transparent/PNG would be optimal, but the macro will have to work with isolate. -(saving as PNG results in hidden components showing) Maybe that can be solved with temporary making a new display state?

• Pop up dialog box:

  • Allows user to select background color or transparity

  • Tick marks to select multiple views. e.g Current view, top, front, right, iso, 3Dconnexion V1 (saved views) etc

  • Select save folder

    • Default (same folder as model resides)
    • Speficy path
    • Previous folder (cd -)

  • Memory (remember prefered views/folder directory, and subfolder for each part)

  • 3 run functions

    • Save only current view
    • Save all selected views
    • Temporary change background color.. (So Snagit or other screen capture tools can be used) Perhaps own macro?

• Screen captures are saved to folder named "pictures" based on preference from user. (optional subfolder if selected)

  • If foldes does not exist a new folder is created

• Filename of pictures: "$partnumber + " - " + "$description" + " Rev " + "$revision". + "_P" + "increasing number" (preliminary suggestion)

  • example: "A11907-01 - Description Rev B_P8"
  • Alternatively timestamp instead of increasing number
