Whenever I try to use LDView with the SaveSnapshot option, I get a blank file as output--an image of the correct size but with nothing but the background color. If I do not use this option, everything looks fine. This happens with all models. As a (...) (18 years ago, 20-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I had the same problem and it is most likely not LDView but your video card. Try adding -IgnoreAllOGLExtensions option and see if it works. If it does then something in your video card's the problem. Try updating to the latest driver version (...) (18 years ago, 20-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) But the dialog isn't active because this is the command line I'm talking about. Saving a snapshot from the program itself while open works fine; only on the command line does it fail. (18 years ago, 21-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Sadly none of the above worked, whether ignoring all options with the one switch or ignoring all of them individually. The -SaveSnapshot option is simply outputting a blank file, even though saving from the program dialog works just fine. I've (...) (18 years ago, 21-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad)

I found an older version of LDView on my computer, version 3.0000B1B (a beta version), and tried that; it works just fine. Only version 3.1 seems to have this problem. Guess I'll keep using the old one until this can be fixed. (18 years ago, 21-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Just as an update to this thread, I did track down a bug in LDView 3.0's command line processing of the -SaveSnapshot option that is likely responsible for the blank images you're seeing. That will be fixed in 3.1, and hopefully you'll then be (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad)
