    Posted: 12.Jan.2010 at 16:20
so i have this simulation,
when runs: on screen, i can see the shaded regions
but these not saved in dwg and bmp
i have shademode current= flat+edges.
 
the saving bit :
 
If savestuff then
 
ThisDrawing.SendCommand "shademode" + vbCr + "_l" +vbCr
Set allpolys = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.add("allofit")
      allpolys.Select acSelectionSetAll
      ThisDrawing.Regen acActiveViewport
      ThisDrawing.SaveAs (pathname + Str$(counter))
      ThisDrawing.Export (pathname + Str$(counter)), "BMP",allpolys
 
End If
 
can anybody help ^_^ somehow i believe the problem is in the shademode; either in my current or this bit in saving

Just guessing on this...
 
May be similar reason that AutoCAD is not able to plot shaded objects as generated by "shade" command, you need to "render" then plot using a raster plot driver.
 
Or can get low-resolution output with "jpgout" command.
