5. Command parameters

Usage:

dwgtoimage.exe | <-i <input> [-i <input> -i ... ]> [-o <output>] [-l <layout type >] [-w <width>] [-h <height>] [-t <image type >] [-m [multi-page tiff file name] ] [-x <horizontal dpi>] [-y <vertical dpi>] [-b <color bits per pixel>] [-c <tiff compression mode>] [-q <jpeg quality>] [-r <register>] [-g][-?]
| Notes: <>--- required []--- optional

(1). Input and Output settings

-i <input> | Source dwg/dxf/dwf files or directory which contains dwg/dxf/dwf files you want to convert. This parameter can appear several times, such as: e.g. 1) dwgtoimage -i "c:\my pdf_1.dwg" -i "c:\my2.dxf" -i "c:\my dwfs " -o "d:\myimages" Extract dwg/dxf/dwf files which are 'c:\my pdf_1.dwg,'c:\my2.dxf and all dwfs files placed in 'c:\my dwfs to 'd:\myimages'.
-o <output> | Set destination directory to output result images files, default same as application module directory.

(2). Image/Page settings

-l <layout type> | It is to set outputting layouts, default is to extract the active layout. The programe supports the following options.
serial | parameter symbol | description
1 | "ALL" | extracting all layouts
2 | "ACTIVE" | extracting the active layout
e.g. 1) dwgtoimage -i "c:\my1.dwg" -o "d:\" -t "bmp" -l "all" Extract all layouts of the file "c:\my1.dwg" to "d:\" and save as bmp image files. e.g. 2) dwgtoimage -i "c:\my1.dwg" -o "d:\" -t "bmp" dwgtoimage -i "c:\my1.dwg" -o "d:\" -t "bmp" -l "active" Extract the active layout of the file "c:\my1.dwg" to "d:\" and save as a bmp image file.
-w <width> | It is to set the width of the result image file in pixel, default is 800 pixel.
-h <height> | It is to set the height of the result image file in pixel, default is 600 pixel.
-t <image type> | It is to set the type of result image files. The program supports the following image type.
serial | parameter symbol | description
1 | "BMP" | bmp image file
2 | "PNG" | png image file
3 | "GIF" | gif image file
4 | "PCX" | pcx image file
5 | "JPG" or "JPEG" | jpg image file
6 | "TIF" or "TIFF" | tif image file
7 | "EMF" | emf image file
8 | "WMF" | wmf image file
Default is to ouput jpg image files.. e.g. 1) dwgtoimage -i "c:\mycad1.dwg" -o "d:\" -l "all" -t "jpeg" -q 60 Extract all layouts of file "c:\mycad1.dwg" to "d:\", it is to output jpeg image files and set jpg quality with 60. e.g. 2) dwgtoimage -i "c:\mycads" -o "d:\my gifs" -t "GIF" -b 8 -g Extract all dwg/dxf/dwf files placed in "c:\mycads" to "d:\my gifs", it is to output 8bits grayscale gif image files.
-x <horizontal dpi> | It is to set the horizontal dpi.
-y <vertical dpi> | It is to set the vertical dpi.
-q <image quality > | It is to set the quality of jpg/jpeg, from 1 to 100.
-b <color depth> | It is to set the number of bits per pixel with 1, 4, 8 and 24, default is 24.
-c <tiff compression mode> | It is to set the tiff compression mode. The program supports the following mode.
serial | parameter symbol | description
1 | "NONE" | none compression
2 | "LZW" | lzw compression
3 | "JPG" or "JPEG" | jpg/jpeg compression

Default is CCITT Group4 compression for 1bit tiff, LZW compression for 4,8,24bits tiff. e.g. 1) dwgtoimage -i "c:\my1.dwg" -o "d:\" -t "tif" -m -g -b 8 -c packbits Extract all layouts of 'c:\my1.dwg to 'd:\', it is to ouput 8 bits grayscale multipage tiff and the compression is 'PACKBITS'.
-g | It is to set grayscale image. If you set grayscale image, the progrom only accept 4 or 8 bits color depth, default to set 8bits color depth. e.g. 1) dwgtoimage -i "c:\my1.dwg" -o "d:\" -t "bmp" -g -b 24 The above command ignore parameter '-b 24', it sets 8bits grayscale bitmap and places all result bitmaps to 'd:\' automaticly.
-m [multi-page tiff file name] | It is to set the multi-page tiff and convert all layouts of dwg/dxf/dwf file to multi-page tiff. If you set tiff file name, it convert all dwg/dxf/dwf files to one multi-page tiff file name. e.g. 1) dwgtoimage -i "c:\my1.dwg" -i "c:\my_cads" -o "d:\" -t "tif" -c lzw -m "myret.tiff" Extract the file "c:\my1.dwg" and all dwg/dxf/dwf files which placed in "c"\my_cads" to a multi-page tiff file("d:\myret.tiff").

(3). Other settings

-r <register> | It is to register program.
-? | It is to open the help file.
