graphics / picture extraction

(OP)
does anyone know how to extract or "print" the model to a picture file (jpg, bmp, etc.)?

...so it could be used in a report or presentation.

i've tried using a few different virtual printers; but even when using a high resolution, the resulting picture was pretty fuzzy.

thanks.

RE: graphics / picture extraction

This is what I use to do:
I change colors so the model has a white background, frames are brightful, and joints are very easy to locate. Then I just maximize the screen so to apply the PrintScreen option. This copies the screen as a jpg file. I then paste and edit it to include it in my report. I got a fuzzy view too, but it's clearer this way. Hope this helps.
