A snapshot may be captured of the entire schedule or from the user’s selection.
Entire Schedule
To capture a snapshot of the entire schedule, click from the menu bar. The Image Settings window opens.
Width (in pixels)
By default, the image size will match the size of the canvas. It may be scaled, however, by adjusting the width (the height will adjust proportionally).
Destination
The image may be saved to the clipboard, where it may be pasted into the schedule, or to a file, where it may be opened independently.
If saving to the clipboard, click OK and the process is complete.
If saving to a file, the Image Format and File Name must be chosen.
Image Format
Choose a desired format or leave as default.
File Name
To choose a File Name, click the Choose… button. An explorer window will open. Browse for the desired location, type in a name, and click Open.
The pathname will show below. Click OK to finalize.
From Selection
To capture a snapshot from the user’s selection, click from the menu bar. The cursor will change from the Select Tool
to the crosshairs
. Click and drag a box around the desired area on the canvas.
The Image Settings window opens. The width will default to the size of the area selected. See above for field descriptions.
NOTE: When capturing a snapshot from selection, the captured image won’t necessarily include everything as its displayed. This is because the snapshot corresponds with how the canvas is printed, not how it’s rendered on-screen. For example, if the schedule has been scrolled to a particular section of the network and a snapshot is taken from selection, the calendar strips won’t actually show up, because their location when printed is at the top of the canvas. The same applies for the holiday line and the resource profile. Additionally, elements like dialog windows (e.g. the Resource Key) cannot be captured, as they only display on-screen.
Tip: A screen shot may also be taken from selection by pressing the CTRL key while using the Select Tool.
