Viewing snapshots

You can view previously saved snapshots, and you can also view snapshots created using AutoCAD.

When you view a snapshot, it temporarily replaces the current drawing with the external snapshot file. When you refresh the display of the current drawing (by redrawing, panning, zooming, minimizing, maximizing, or tiling), the snapshot image disappears, and you are returned to the current drawing.

To view a snapshot

   1   Do one of the following:

    On the ribbon, choose Tools > View Snapshot (in Manage).

    Choose Tools > View Snapshot.

    On the Tools toolbar, click the View Snapshot tool ().

    Type vsnapshot and then press Enter.

   2   In the dialog box that displays, specify the name of the snapshot file you want to view.

   3   Click Open.

progeCAD displays the snapshot in the current drawing window.
