Cheers Arjo .... and Vesa,

I have been using straight screen grabs and then doing my best to match scales. 
Occasionally shifting the back colour in post, etc.

This one is for the Keep Forever File!!

Thanks

  Subject: measure object with high resolution print


  Hi,

   

  A week ago I had to draw a plan in a cad like manner. So I thought I should 
use the measure object to show measures inside the drawing.

  The only problem was how to get a hires image for printing the plan.

  Vesa gave me a very good tip for creating such a view window.

  So I thought I should share it in here, it might come handy to someone else 
too.

  Attached you can see the result.

   

  - Open a new Float window from Available GUI objects\}Window tab

  - From the same tab, activate the Window tool. Set type to Scrolled. Drag & 
drop the Window tool icon to the opened float window.

  - Switch to App Window tab and drop a View to the new float window.

  - Create a new View Model object called as 'Hires View'. Set its options as 
you wish, and set Canvas to GDI, not OpenGL..

  - In the Camera tab of the View model property gadget, set Fixed size and 
enter e.g. w=2000, h=3000. 

  - Save the project (maybe as startup)

   

  Now you can use View popup/Render/Save to file menu of the new hires view to 
create high resolution wireframe screenshots.

   

  Arjo.
