Capture Session

Capture and export the complete HyperWorks session as images to a Document or Presentation report.

For Presentation reports, the slide layout with the largest placeholder (text, image, or table) is used. This placeholder is then split into blocks per the HyperWorks page layout and images are added. The title field is populated with the slide titles.

This module allows you to capture the content of all pages and windows in the HyperWorks session and export a Document or Presentation report with a single operation. Capture session module refers to the Session Browser page selection for image capture.

Capture Session automatically selects the output image format based on the Session Browser Publish Format. The table below provides more details for the image formats:
