Synopsis

This command opens a dialog to save the current content of the 3D view to a file. It can save to various image formats. Additionally, you can change the aspect ratio and the resolution of the screen shot using the "Options" button to get access to more parameters.

This command can also use the image comment field of some image formats, like PNG or JPEG to save MIBA information along with the picture.

   for x,y in [[500,500],[1000,3000],[3000,1000],[3000,3000],[8000,8000]]:
     Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.saveImage(OutDir + "Blade_" + p +"_" + f + "_" + `x` + "_" + `y` + ".jpg",x,y,"White")
