To export a picture of a view as a still image:
The method below can be used to save a “screenshot” from the Structure, Analysis or Sequence views or to export a still image from an animated sequence.
- Choose File > Export Image.
- In the Save dialog, enter a File name and make a selection from the Save as type drop-down menu. Depending on the view, you may be able to save the image as a .pdf, .png, .jpg, .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint), or .gif file.
If you are exporting the Structure view, another dialog will open.
- Select the desired export options:
- Choose from available image resolution using the Resolution drop-down menu.
- In the Width and Height boxes, type in numbers or use the up/down arrows to specify numbers for the image size. If the chain icon is unbroken, making changes to either of these items will automatically cause the other to change proportionally.
- The unbroken chain icon (
) denotes that the aspect ratio (proportions) of the image are constrained by default. If you wish to size the Width and Height independently, click the icon to “break” the chain (
).
- Choose from available image resolution using the Resolution drop-down menu.
- Click the Export button.
