I just use the PrtScn button on the keyboard which typically copies the screen to the clipboard. I then paste that as a new image in Paint.net. From there, you can print and manipulate to your heart's desire.

Hi Gaston, in addition to print screen as Phil mentioned, there is also a way to create a screen capture at a higher resolution, there are some details on that here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=1049.5

To get more control over printing you would need to export your data to another CAD program and print from there - Rhino works well for this.

In version 1.0 MoI is focused only on creating the 3D model data and not on printing yet.

Thank you Phil, PrintScreen works fine I have to try to see if it is possible to preserve scaling; get a 1:1 relationship.

MIchael, this sounds very interesting except the link http://moi3d.com/beta/Sep4_patch4.zip is broken :(
And I would be hesitant to replace moi_lib.dll 2008-01-18 with an older one.
I have tried associating a Shortcut key P to the suggested script
script:var v = moi.ui.getActiveViewport();
if ( v != null ) { moi.view.lineWidth = 4; v.renderToClipboard( 2560, 2560 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; }

but it does not seem to work with version 1.0 anyway. Any other way around?

Thank you,
Gaston

Hi Gaston, you shouldn't need that link anyway, this functionality is built into every version newer than last September's beta release. It should work in version 1.0, I'll take a look and see what might be going wrong.

Also, what video card do you have? Some video cards may not allow creating the image larger than the screen...

Hi Gaston, I tried your script over here and it seemed to work fine for me in version 1.0 .

One thing - please make sure there is no carriage return in the text that you paste in to the shortcut command. If there is a carriage return it can cut it short, and there does appear to be a return in your message text.

Try copy/pasting this one long line:
code:
script:var v = moi.ui.getActiveViewport(); if ( v != null ) { moi.view.lineWidth = 4; v.renderToClipboard( 2560, 2560 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; }


If your video card supports it, you may be able to go to a higher resolution than 2560x2560 as well, just edit the 2 numbers in the script.

Thank you.

Great! I hope that will help at least some.

Probably your video card would need an upgrade to one with a larger amount of video memory to go higher.
