print screen button
(OP)
Hi all,
My question is this. I have on the catia (v4) screen a textual list of ditto's that I want to print off using the 'print screen' button on the unix (SUN) keyboard.
How does this work, as just pressing the key does not seem to do anything.
Does doing this require another program on the SUN m/c?
thanks,
Dave.

(ctrl-c or ctrl-v)the computer holds the image in its memory,(clipboard) it only releases it when you paste it into a specfic prgramme.

I now know what happens when the printscreen button is pressed, but how do I get it out of memory/clipboard into a printable location? For example, do I press the printscreen button again to paste it into an active text file in the unix desktop? but this does not produce anything.
Note: this problem is on a SUN/Solaris unix m/c.
Compared to using an IBM AIX/unix m/c: I believe when you press the printscreen button it creates a tiff file and deposits it automatically into the users $HOME/db directory from where it can be printed.
This does not happen on a SUN/Solaris unix m/c.
Thanks all for your continued efforts. Dave.

When viewing your model, you go to "tools" "screen grab". This will show you which directory the tiff image is going to. Since you can not do a "tools" "scren grab" when listing details, you do a print screen. This generates a tiff in the same directory. Then you move the tif to a pc.
Is any of this an option with the SUN?
RE: print screen button
Thanks for your description of screen grabs and printscreen for catia V4 on aix, and this I know about.
For CATIA v4 on solaris this is the same for 'tools' but unfortunately, this does not appear to be the way printscreen works on Solaris.
