Capture design images

Use Output Design > Capture Design Image to save design image as bitmap exactly as it appears in the current design window.

Designers frequently want to distribute designs for viewing in real colors, in TrueView or otherwise, with or without fabric backgrounds. In a commercial environment, this might be for stock design sales purposes, for approval of digitized designs, or for presentation on the web or in catalogs.

Screen images are captured in PNG format. Bitmap resolution defaults to current screen resolution. Properly calibrated, this figure should default to approximately 72 or 96 DPI (dots per inch), depending on the resolution of your monitor. Options are self-explanatory...

Selection options include:

Option	Description
Whole design (1:1)	Captures the screen image in a ratio of 1:1.
Current design window	Captures the screen image at the currently selected zoom factor.
Custom	Lets you specify a capture area. You are prompted to define the area to capture.

Output options include:
