Hi,

If you need screenshot with model or drawing (working area) - take a look to export to images functionality.

If you need an image a whole Creo with UI, I think, in this case need to use external software and call this by macro.

Hi ysinitsyn:

Thank you for your help.

Yes, I want screenshot with model.

I found a function pfcWindow::ExportRasterImage, is right?

If yes, did you have any idea about pfcRasterImageExportInstruction.

I am not sure how to use it. Did you have any example? 

Thank you, again.

Hmm - that function is very vague in the Creo 4 UG for Weblink...

It appears to only export one (1) format...  the Parametric raster output file... which I have no idea what format that is.

I guess you will have to try it and see how it works.

You could use the CREOSON interface : export_image command to easily write and image of the active Creo session.

This *may* be able to be called from a WebLink page... or you could load a special page for this operation from the CREOSON server.

Only as a suggestion.  I believe there is an example of this in the Playground within the CREOSON distribution.
