Capture Zone

The capture zone of the image can either be defined by a frame or can include the entire graphics window.

By Frame

A black frame is also displayed in the graphics area. This frame defines the borders of the image that will be created. The size of the frame is defined in the template and cannot be dynamically changed, however, you can use the usual Cimatron view manipulation functions to define the contents of the frame.

Depending on the template, the size of the frame may be different for each image type.

Entire Window

The whole graphics area (including any dialogs) is included in the captured image.

Clear Folder

All images captured from this ELT file are added to the relevant capture folder.

The captured images are saved in the following folder:

...\ProgramData\Cimatron\Cimatron\2026.0\Data\Nc\Report_Images\<elt_file_name>

To delete these saved images and clear the folder, press the Clear Folder button.

The Clear Folder button is grayed out if the folder is empty.
