Steps

1. Turn on the measurements you want to capture

  • Before taking a screenshot, choose which measurements should be visible.

  • Click the eyeball icon on the right menu to toggle measurement layers on or off.

(Optional) Turn measurements on/off at the folder level

  • If you need more granular control, you can expand your folders and toggle visibility for specific categories or individual measurements.

2. Click the “Print Screen” button

  • On the right menu, click “Print Screen.”

  • This captures a screenshot of only the canvas/plan sheet, without any side panels or menus.

3. Repeat for additional sections or divisions

  • Move to the next area of your plan and repeat the steps to capture additional screenshots.

  • Once you're done taking all screenshots, click “Manage Screenshots.”

4. Organize your screenshots

Inside the Manage Screenshots view, you can:

  • Drag and reorder screenshots into the sequence you prefer

  • Navigate to other sections/divisions on the left to capture more if needed

    • This ensures your final PDF appears in the exact order you want.

5. Download your PDF

  • When everything looks good, click “Download PDF.”

  • Save the file to your computer—your screenshot set is now ready to share.
