EXPORT_REALISTIC array

The EXPORT_REALISTIC array exports a realistic image file, that is photo quality of a finished PCB barebaord. Perfect for fabricaiton shops to provide their customers with a realistic preview of the finished PCB barebaord.

Note
If you wish to export multiple realistic images, than you will need to define multiple EXPORT_REALISTIC arrays.
IMPORTANT: When exporting image files, RELATIVE paths are always preferred and much safer.
Fields in the EXPORT_REALISTIC array
Description
CELL=NAME Assign Cell to use. If the cell is empty, or defined as "active" or "current" - the active cell will be used.
FILE=LOCATION Path for the exported image file. The path may be either Absolute or Relative. (IMPORTANT: When exporting, RELATIVE paths are always preferred and much safer).
REALISTIC=Yes|No Output as a Realistic PCB preview image. Choose either yes or no (default: No)
WIDTH=NUM Export Image Width in Pixels. (default: 800)
BOARDSIDE=Top|Bottom Choose either top or bottom. (default: top)
MASKCLR=VALUE Choose mask color: green, blue, black, red, white, green matte. (default: green)
Note:You can also use RGB values to allow the exact color. For example:
MASKCLR=0,255,0
SILKCLR=VALUE Choose silk color: white, yellow, red. (default: white)
Note:You can also use RGB values to allow the exact color. For example:
SILKCLR=255,255,255
BOARDFINISH=VALUE Choose finish: HASL, Gold, Silver. (default: hasl)
Note:You can also use RGB values to allow the exact color. For example:
BOARDFINISH=180,180,185
DRILLCLR=VALUE Choose from: Clear, or any RGB Value. (default: clear)
Note:You can also use RGB values to allow the exact color. For example:
DRILLCLR=0,0,0
ZOOMBOX=L,B,R,T Define a Zoomed-in area of Image. Left, Bottom, Right, Top must be comma separated. (default: 0,0,0,0 is used then entire extents)

Example EXPORT_REALISTIC Array:

# Export Realistic PCB Image of Bottom Side - Red Mask Color
EXPORT_REALISTIC {
CELL=PowerPointDino
FILE=PowerPointDino/Image/MyBottomPreview.png
WIDTH=1200
BOARDSIDE=bottom
MASKCLR=red
SILKCLR=white
BOARDFINISH=hasl
DRILLCLR=clear
}
# Export Realistic PCB Image of Top Side; at a specific zoomed-in area.
EXPORT_REALISTIC {
CELL=active
FILE=PowerPointDino/Image/ImageZoomTopPreview.png
BOARDSIDE=top
DRILLCLR=128,128,128
ZOOMBOX=0.5,0.5,2,2
}
# Assign RGB Values for all board colors - same as online gerber viewers.
EXPORT_REALISTIC {
CELL=PowerPointDino
FILE=PowerPointDino/Image/MyBottomPreview.png
WIDTH=1200
BOARDSIDE=bottom
MASKCLR=26,75,26
SILKCLR=255,255,255
BOARDFINISH=204,153,51
DRILLCLR=118,118,118
}
