isolate and screen shots

Using a macro to capture a screen shot when isolate is active ignores
what is on the screen and shows what would be on the screen if you
cancel isolate.

What is "isolate"?

I'm on 2006.

Thanks - Bo

 

Isolate is basically a 'show selected' command for use in an assembly.
Select only the components you want to see and the rest are temporarily
hidden while a small 'exit isolate' button floats on the screen. I
used to have a utility (kcs) which had a similiar command.

That sounds odd as the isolate function merely hides (or otherwise based on
the setting) parts. You mention using a macro - what if you do it manually?

Hi Wayne,

Same result with either saveas | jpeg or my macro (which is really
doing the same thing).

I find it very curious that the saveas | jpeg function is getting it's
screen data from somewhere else?

Also, it occured to me that since you can save 'isolate' states as
display states that maybe display states share this problem, but they
don't. If you save the isolate state to a display state name, then
activate that display state (turning off isolate) then the image
matches the screen.

 

I presume you've turned this one in?

I will indeed tomorrow.

 

Could not find it on '06. On which menu is it?

 

only in 2007.
