How do I take a screenshot of my entire block diagram?

Solved!
Go to solution

I need to take a screen shot of my entire block diagram, but it is way too big to fit onto my screen as is.  Is there a way to somehow shrink it down so that I can take a screen shot and put it in my report?

 

Thanks in advance!

try this.

 

Or you would simply "select all" and "edit...create snippet from selection" (not sure iit is available in 9.0).

 

Or try the code capture tool

Sorry, I don't have DAQ, so many subVIs are blank, but here's how the snippet would look like.

Another way to do it, as indicated by wasgij is to print the document.  In this case Print to HTML, include the block diagram and then grab the image from the images folder created.  (This is kludgy, I know, but it is a method.)

Or you could try using a proper program architecture to begin with instead of a flat sequence and linear programing...

 

In the vast majority of cases programming LabVIEW, if your code is too big for your screen, you are doing it wrong!

VI Snippet tool is the best one to use. Thank you.
