You can capture a screenshot of the visible portion of an active map or a layout to the clipboard for insertion into other applications.
Follow these steps to capture a screenshot of a map, scene, or layout:
- Ensure the map, scene, or layout is open in an active view.
- Pan, zoom, or resize the view to adjust the visible extent. Only the visible extent will be captured.
- On the Share tab, in the Output group, click one of the following, depending on the active view:
- In an active map or scene, click Capture To Clipboard .
- In an active layout, click Capture To Clipboard .
The visible extent of the active map, scene, or layout is copied as an image to the system clipboard.
Note:
It is not recommended that you use these steps to add an image of a map to a layout. Follow the steps outlined in Add and modify map frames to add maps to layouts.
