(This item pertains to the Analysis window, accessible from the View Window button on the Analysis dialog box. To open the Analysis dialog box, choose Insert | Report Command | Analysis.)
The image will remain on the clipboard until another screen is captured, or the measurement routine is closed.
The Analysis window's Options | Save Graphics To Report menu option captures the view in the Analysis window and stores it in a DISPLAY/METAFILE command. When executed this in turn sends the capture into the inspection report.
PC-DMIS does not have the ability to edit or format the captured image. The graphics will be displayed at the cursor's location.
This DISPLAY/METAFILE command differs from the DISPLAY/METAFILE command generated from the main menu in these ways:
It takes the screen capture of the view in the Analysis window when you select the menu item, not the Graphic Display window.
The screen capture does not get retaken during execution, it is a static image.
See "Create Analysis View Command" for creating a screen capture that automatically updates itself upon execution.
See "Screen Captures" in the "Using the Edit Window" chapter for additional information on the DISPLAY/METAFILE command.
