    BVE: Screenshots

    Hi all

    I have many times seen screenshots of routes, I believe using track viewer. Could someone please explain the way to get such screen shots?

    Thank you

    Hi There!!

    It's simplicity itself.

    1) Compose your shot in Track Viewer.
    2) Hit the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard.
    3) Paste the results into your preferred graphics editor.
    4) Crop the rest of shot away until you're left with what you want.

    Et voila!!

      If you hit Alt+Printscreen (whilst in the Trackviewer) you get a shot of the trackviewer only, and not the other items that may lurk in the background.

          Not a problem I didn't even know that one til recently. I wondered if anyone knew if there are limits to the size of screenshots (as attatchments) on this forum?

            Hello Nathan,
            I am not sure about size of screenshots, interpreting as pixels, thought i would say, keep below 700*550, although there amy be a size limit, I know that signatures are 450*120, as stated at the top of the page.
            If I interpreted it as in kb, the limit is 100kb or less.
