It would be gr8, if anyone can help me to convert a dgn as image.
Basically the implementation is, when i run a mdl application, it will
select dgn files from a particular directory and convert that dgns to
image files. I'm opening the dgn file using
mdlSystem_newDesignFile().. I'm not sure how to convert the dgn as
image. I will appriciate if anyone can help to me for the same.

Thanks in Advance

The easiest was is to use the batch print utility,
set up your dgns to have a unique border shape say colour254 ( invisible to
printer)
Then in the batch print you tell it to search for shapes colour 254
The printer driver to use is any of the image.plt (s) as there is
Tiff.plt
Emf.plt
Jpeg.plt
SVFHires.plt
You will need to investigate and or modify one of these.
They will print a dgn to an image file and you can even set the destination
through
prefs or through batch plot.
you can then make a macro or mdl to execute the batch and use a standard set
up..
If your worried about people tinkering with the macro just give them the.ba
file...
I do this for bulk pdf creation over night I don't even have to be there...
