Thanks for the idea Bernd. I'm trying to snapshot the card because I want to capture multiple objects/groups that are present in a designated rect, along with the card background pattern (where theRect includes negative values).
export snapshot from rect theRect of this cd at size 120,120 to img "map" I supposed I could ignore the card and temporarily group the controls to be able to snapshot from a single object, but then I have to relayer everything back to where it was originally. This is not ideal, but possible. AFAIK, it's not possible to designate multiple objects for a snapshot, is it?
