Export: Windows Bitmap/JPEG/PNG File

Description

Exports the current model display as an image file in the Windows bitmap (.bmp), JPEG (.jpg) or PNG (.png) format.

This functionality is similar to the Base Panel: Copy Graphics function available in the model window, which copies the model display image to the Windows clipboard. Unlike the Base Panel: Copy Graphics function, which copies graphics at the same resolution as the model window, the export option allows for the image resolution to be set and for the image aspect ratio to be changed.

Dialog

Name

Opens the file dialog to specify the location and name of the file to be exported.

Image Width

Number of horizontal pixels in the exported image. This value cannot exceed Max pixels.

Image Height

Number of vertical pixels in the exported image. This value cannot exceed Max pixels.

Reset

Sets the number of horizontal and vertical pixels of the exported image to the size of the current model window.

Max pixels

Maximum allowable pixels in both width and height of the exported image.

Maintain Aspect Ratio

If set, when either the width or height is changed, the other dimension is automatically adjusted to maintain an aspect ratio of the exported image that is consistent with the current model window.
