Using RealCAD, LANDWorksCAD or ArborCAD you can easily create image files from selected areas of your drawing by following these easy steps:

Important: Make sure you have selected the right view and adjust the plan or components to the size of the working window.

1) Adjust the part of the plan you want to save as image, then go to Edit > Copy Bitmap

2) Select the image size: By default it takes your screen resolutions in pixels. You can multiply by 2, 3… to make the image bigger.
