C-Hook Name: metafile.dll/.txt Date: June 1, 2000 Description: 'Metafile' creates a Microsoft Enhanced Metafile (.EMF) by capturing the contents of the Graphics Window and drawing it on a White background The only interaction consists of a File/Open dialog which requests the name of the .EMF file to create. By default, it will use the DATA sub-directory off of the Mastercam directory. NOTES: ** The C-Hook will not work when OpenGL drawing is being used. Go to Screen/Config, click on the "Screen" tab, and verify that the checkbox which says "Enable OpenGL(R) drawing" is Off. ** You may find that shrinking the size of the Mastercam window improves the clarity of the .EMF file output. This is due to the fact that, when Mastercan is using the full screen, we are capturing a large image, and the desired output image may not be as large. Shrinking the size of the graphics screen, rather than manipulating the .EMF output later, may be beneficial ** Once upon a time (Version 6), there was a 'Metafile' C-Hook which generated .WMF files. The function calls which that C-Hook used (and the .WMF format itself) are considered "obsolete" by Microsoft and are no longer supported.
