File - Save Print Image

Select File - Save Print Image to open the CopyCAD Save Image dialog box.

You can use this dialog box to save the current view in the Graphics window as a bitmap graphics file.

Note: Before you start, you must make sure that the view of the model is that which you want to print. Make sure that it is correctly orientated and that the model fills the whole of the Graphics window.

You can set the options for the image file as follows:

• If you want to use the current background, which by default is the Delcam graduated colours of black to blue , leave the White Background check box de-selected. If you want a white background, click on the check box to select it.
  
  
• You can use the Gamma Value box to set the brightness of the image. A higher gamma value gives overall a brighter image. By default, the Gamma Value is set to 1.
  
  
• You set the image dimensions using one of the options in the Size area. By default, the Current Resolution option is selected. This means that the image file will have the same dimensions as the current Graphics window, which is shown in pixels in the Width and Height boxes.

For example, if you resize the Graphics window so that it is 418 pixels wide and 384 pixels high, these will be the dimensions used in the image file.

If you want to change the image dimensions, keeping the same aspect ratio, click on either the Set Width or the Set Height option. You can then set the required width or height of the image in pixels.

Using the same example as above, if you wanted to save the current Graphics window view at a quarter its original area, you could select the Set Width option and type 206 in the Width box..

\When you click on the Save button, CopyCAD displays the Save As dialog box, which you can use to save the image as a bitmap (BMP) file. For further information about how to use the Save As dialog box, click on the button on its Title bar, and click on the area you are interested in.
