Creating a Screenshot

QUESTION

I would like to export my currently displayed screen to send to someone or to show a problem to Technical Support. How can I do this?

ANSWER

If you want to export an image of your plan or a 3D camera view from a Chief Architect program, you can do so using the Export Picture option.

If you need to create a screenshot image of an error or warning message, or need to create a screenshot of other details on your screen to send to Technical Support for troubleshooting purposes, please see the appropriate resource for your operating system below.

To export a picture from Chief Architect programs

1. Select File> Export> Export Picture (BMP, JPG, PNG) .
   
   
   
2. In the Export Picture dialog that displays, specify your desired properties, click Save to Disk, specify a location to save the image to, such as your Desktop, then click Save. 
   
   

   For more information on the settings and details within the Export Picture dialog, please click the Help button to open your program's documentation
