I've generated a very large model that I need to put in a Technical Document. It wont fit its to big, over 8000 nodes and over 32000 links.

I've tried screenshot tools but they only do vertical scrolling, not both horizontal and vertical to get the entire area.

I also Saved as XPS and opened that in IE, then exported to OneNote but the resolution is lost and nodes are unreadable.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can get this gigantic model into an image?

Maybe if the File >Print menu was enabled when viewing a model I could Print to PDF or Print to image.

EDIT:

4 yearrs later and I am still encountering this!! This time with a TIBCO model, yet this is TINY compared to last time probably like 200 times smaller:

  • I can't see the image at the link provided - possibly some kind of error? I'm very keen to see it :) – Adrian K Aug 03 '11 at 03:06
  • @Adrian K - its there, showing the huge number of nodes, if someone can answer my question I'll show the diagram. Here's the direct image url: http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/449/nodesoffun.jpg – Jeremy Thompson Aug 03 '11 at 03:15
  • @Jeremy - sorry but it's not visible to me, all I get is a 207 x 43 pixel image that looks a little bit like a could be a cropped diagram, with the text: "Architecture Explorer", "Error", "Loaded 12042 nodes and 57244 links". – Adrian K Aug 03 '11 at 03:23
  • @Adrian - that's it. I cant show you more of the diagram, its too big and I dont know how to, thats why I asked this question. Cheers – Jeremy Thompson Aug 03 '11 at 03:31

Danpros has posted an article on how to Convert XPS Document To Image Files which might be your best bet: print it to XPS and convert from there.

There's also this over at BlogsDNA.
