Are you asking if Power Bi can automatically generate images just from uploading or refreshing data!?

aj1973 I just wonder if this schematic can by visualized in PowerBI. It's shown in the application as a picture and generated on the fly based on the data from the database.

      parry2k First a user filters some columns in PowerBI that defines data needed to built the schematic (size, diameter and number of elements). Them somehow an exe file (that command run in command prompt) inside PowerBI should be called, and then schematic uploaded to a dashboard/repot...I guess

        If I am not misunderstanding your request then the answer is YES. You can use Bookmarks in Power Bi to switch between your schematics every time a user filters a visual. Create a Bookmark for each visual, and then overlap them on top of each other.
