ScreenCaptureToFile

Saves an image of the current viewport with borders and viewport titles as a bitmap file.

Steps:

  • Choose the location, file type, and name for the bitmap file.

  • BMP, TGA, JPG, PCX, or PNG formats are supported.

Screen captures are useful if you are creating illustrations for documentation. With Rhino you can capture the current viewport to the Windows Clipboard, to a file with a color depth to match your current settings, or as a 256-color image.

You can save the bitmap in BMP, TGA, JPG, PCX, or PNG formats.

If you set a shortcut to a function key such as F3, you can press one button to capture your viewport to a file or the clipboard.
