Is there any API to capture/export a View to an image file?

Tran Thanh Lo — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 08:52:16 GMT

Hi everyone,

Is there any native way in the Archicad API (C++ or JSON-RPC) to programmatically capture or export the current active view (2D or 3D) directly into an image file (PNG/JPG)?

If a direct API doesn't exist, what is the recommended standard workaround to achieve this?

Thank you!
