Making screen shots (creating an image of what is shown on the screen) has changed through the various Trainz versions. The methods described here apply to TRS2019 and TrainzPlus. Screen shots have a number of uses in Trainz beyond just preserving an image of a part of your route for personal enjoyment. Routes can have a thumbnail image, used as the 'preview' image on the Download Station as well as in Content Manager, and as a prominent display when a route is selected in Surveyor (see: HowTo: Thumbnail and Preview Images). Screen shots can be shared with other Trainz people in a number of different ways. This "HowTo" page will explore each of these aspects or provide links to where useful help can be obtained.
Social Menu
The Social Menu (TRS2019 and beyond, only) is the seventh icon on the top-of-screen menu and includes a "Capture Screenshot" item that, when selected (LMB), corresponds to pressing the PrtScrn key on most full keyboards.
Screen Print
The PrtScrn key found on most full keyboards (usually in the top row, towards the right) will take a picture of whatever is showing on your screen(s). To specify the active screen (if you have more than one monitor), use alt-PrtScrn.
