Do you actually want the parts scaled to fit in the viewable area, or • would
you be happy if the image was clipped to the actual part-image?


I would like the image of the part scaled to take up the entire area of the
image.  I have the image size set to 640x480.  If the part is too big to
fit, i'd like it scaled down.  If the part is too small, i'd like it scaled
up so that it takes up as much of the image as possible.

AFAIK, only MLCAD has a feature to set the scaling to fit the current • viewing
area.

MLCAD does the scaling exactly like I want it to.  It is not, however,
sciptable that I know of.  So I am stuck making the images by hand.  This
takes me FOREVER to do, as I make all the parts that I sell in a number of
different colors.

I'm looking for something that will do the scaling like MLCAD does, but that
will generate images for ALL the parts in ALL  the colors AUTOMATICALLY.

And if someone wants to get fancy, options of doing just selected parts or
selected colors would be of use too.

(...) Some time ago I wrote a program that does that, you enter the color and image size and it will generate gifs or bmps of all parts available, automatically zooming in/out to fit the part. Do you want me to send it to you ? Leonardo (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
