Capture Canvas Image (Allegro 17.4HF007) broken?

redwire

Hi

I'm trying to see one you all out there can try to reproduce this issue I am seeing in Allegro.  17.4 HotFix 007,

Open a design, select "capture canvas image" and it should prompt you to save a bitmap image.  My bitmap is junk.  All white.

Anyone else? Cadence says it is working fine.

Thanks

    On this, there is another way that I actually prefer to do screen captures that may help.

    Try use the print screen key on your keyboard to capture the image on a "Windows Machine",  open your graphics application and click paste, the allegro pcb will be faithfully reproduced.

    At that point you could save it out in any of the supported formats your graphics app supports.

    The standard windows paint program works good for this too as you can do things like crop or add notes to the picture.

    All the best.
