This topic details the old way to add screen captures. It remains for backwards compatibility. Try out the new Snapshot menu option instead; it has more functionality. For information, see "Inserting Snapshots" in this chapter.
You can use the Insert | Report Command | Screen Capture menu item to display screen captures of the part in your report. This menu option places a DISPLAY/METAFILE command in the Edit window. When this command is marked and executed, PC-DMIS automatically refreshes the screen capture and displays it in the report.
Command line in the Edit window:
DISPLAY/METAFILE,"___",TOG1,TOG2
___ = This field will allow you to enter a description of the captured screen. The maximum text is 255 characters.
TOG1 = This field determines the size of the screen capture. You can toggle between the following: 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, TO FIT.
TOG2 = This field determines the quality of the screen capture. You can toggle between the following: HIGH, GOOD, LOW
For this to appear in the Report window, right-click on some text within the Report window, select Edit, and when the Report dialog box appears, select the Show Screen Capture check box.
This command is similar to the ANALYSISVIEW command and the DISPLAY/METAFILE command that are created in the Analysis Window. For more information on the Analysis Window, see "Analysis area" in this chapter.
A True Type Font for text in the Graphic Display window gives the best results when capturing the image.
