Exporting the Current View to a 2D Image File

The 2D Image export tool lets you save the current view to a BMP, JPG or TGA file, which can be opened in most graphic editing applications.

To export a view:

1. Select File > Export > 2D Image.

2. In the Save As dialog, click on the Save as type drop box and select the file format you want to export to.

3. Locate the directory where you want to save the exported file.

4. In the File name edit box, type a file name.

5. Click Save. The Export View dialog appears.

6. From the Color drop box, select the desired color setting. Choose from Grayscale, 256 Color, High Color (16-bit), High Color (24-bit) or True Color (32-bit).

7. From the Size drop box, select the desired output size. By default, Current View is selected, which saves the image at the size currently shown on the screen. You can choose from a list of preset sizes, or select Custom and enter the desired values in the Width and Height edit boxes.

8. Click Save. The view is exported.
