Screenshot tool

You can use the Screenshot tool to take clean snapshots of your model directly from the modeling space. Before capturing, you can customize how your model looks by adjusting visual elements like the grid, background, and body edges.

Use screenshots to:

• Capture quick visuals without UI elements
• Adjust visibility settings for clarity
• Save or copy images for presentations or feedback

Copy and reuse your last screenshot setup

The Screenshot tool lets you quickly reuse and share the same captured view without setting it up again. Here's how it works:

• The tool remembers your last used settings, including grid, transparency, and edge visibility.
• Your saved settings are applied automatically when you reopen the tool.
• You can use a keyboard shortcut to copy your last screenshot without reopening the tool.
• The copied image is saved to your clipboard, ready to paste into emails, slides, or any document tool where you need to present your design.
