Saves the current model or platform view in a bitmap file
The current model or platform view can be saved either in the Windows bitmap format (.BMP) or
in the JPEG-format (.JPG). After the selection of the file format and the file name in the file
dialog, specific size and color settings can be defined for the bitmap file.
HINT: In order to insert the current model view as a bitmap into another program as for example
MS Word, the function Copy to clipboard (Shortcut STRG+K) from the Edit menu can be used
alternatively. At this, the model view is copied as a bitmap directly into the Windows clipboard,
and can be taken over directly by the usually existing function paste.
Dialog Save view
Size
Defines the width and height of the generated
bitmap. The default values correspond to the
window size of the model view (in pixels).
HINT: The maximum adjustable value for
width or height is limited to 4.096 Pixel.
When the option Keep aspect ratio is active
and width or height is altered, the other value
is automatically adapted to the aspect ratio of
the window. If this option is turned off, both
values can be adapted independently of each
other, so a bitmap file with any user-defined
aspect ratio can be generated.
HINT: The aspect ratio of the bitmap does not
affect the aspect ratio of the displayed models
within the bitmap. Therefore the models will
not look distorted in any case.
Color options
Defines the color properties of the generated
bitmap. The generation can take place in gray
scales or in colors, whereby either a color
depth of 16Bit RGB (High Color with 65.536 colors) or an 8Bit palette (Windows color range
with 256 colors) can be used.
HINT: Bitmaps in the JPEG-Format are always generated independent of the preset color depth
with 24Bit RGB colors (16.7 million colors).
