Batch Rendering JobsThe batch rendering job specifies the job name, rendering mode and options, and image dimensions and format, for the current drawing file.
Batch rendering does not retain geometry or lighting information; it saves the view, render, and export settings. To export different lighting situations for a scene, create sheet layer viewports and change the lighting with the Visualization palette (see Managing Lights and Cameras with the Visualization Palette). Viewports allow lighting overrides without affecting the lighting on the design layer. This method allows batch rendering of viewports of the same scene with different lighting conditions.
To create a batch rendering job:
1. Establish the desired file view and level of magnification.
The Export Image File settings determine the specific dimensions of the exported area and the visibility of objects (see Exporting an Image File).
2. Select View > Rendering > Create Batch Render Job.
The Create Batch Render Job dialog box opens. Specify the rendering job parameters and click OK.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
The Marquee export area option in the Export Image File dialog box is not available for batch rendering jobs.
3. Create additional batch rendering jobs as required.
Batch jobs can be renamed, edited, or deleted from the Start Batch Render dialog box.
