Snapshot Tool: Use this tool to take a snapshot of part of the simulation window. With mouse held down, use cursor to draw out a rectangular area corresponding to your desired picture. If you double-click on the Snapshot tool button, you open the tool's Properties Box. In the Properties Box, you can make the picture's background transparent or not transparent.

The snapshot tool copies the picture to both the CIPS Java Clipboard and your computer's System Clipboard. From there, you may place the picture in the simulation window of any simulator using the Paste tool, provided you do not quit Internet Explorer. You can also paste the picture into other applications (such as Microsoft Word) from the System Clipboard.
