How to export multiple figures at once?

Pierre Thieffry

A customer wants to select multiple figures and store them in files with a single click.

Here's a short script that can be stored in a user button. It will save the file in the folder of the figures' parent analysis folders and use the parent result name for the the file name.

figures=ExtAPI.DataModel.Tree.ActiveObjects

if (figures.Count == 0): 
    mess_line1 = 'Please select at least one figure'
    MessageBox.Show(mess_line1)
    pass

if (figures[0].GetType()!= Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Figure): 
    mess_line1 = 'Please select figure(s)'
    MessageBox.Show(mess_line1)
    pass


for fig in figures:
    ExtAPI.DataModel.Tree.Activate(fig)
    anWD=fig.Parent.Parent.Parent.WorkingDir
    filename=anWD+'Figure - '+fig.Parent.Name+'.jpg'
    ExtAPI.Graphics.ExportImage(filename)
    msg = Ansys.Mechanical.Application.Message('Figure for '+fig.Parent.Name+' stored in folder '+anWD, MessageSeverityType.Info)
    ExtAPI.Application.Messages.Add(msg)
