MicroStation CONNECT Edition Help

Save Multiple Images Dialog

Used to build an image script file that defines the names of the design files, views, output files, rendering options, and image formats of the image files being saved.

You can access this dialog from the following:

  • Ribbon: Drawing > Utilities > Image
  • Ribbon: Modeling > Utilities > Image
  • Ribbon: Visualization > Home > Rendering > Render > Save Multiple Images
  • Toolbox: Render

You can resize the Save Multiple Images dialog, as well as customize it to display only the information that you require. Script entries are color coded as follows:

  • Grey — disabled entries.
  • Red — missing files, invalid entries, and existing output files.

Any DGN files that are opened when executing scripts are opened as "read-only".
