Export viewport to PNG with antialiasing

Mike96

Hi!

I made a scene in 3D view and want to export it quickly to PNG, straight from 3D view, without engine rendering. I turned on OpenGL antialiasing to have nice smooth edges, saved file as PNG and there it is, but with no AA. I noticed that AA turned off at the moment of exporting PNG file but turns back on automatically whenever I move camera.
Anybody knows how to retain AA in PNG export?
I could theoretically use fullscreen mode and save screenshots but come on...

OK, I already know.
I had to also turn on 2D AA, not only 3D AA.

It's good to know that there was an improvement in bitmaps quality during saving. Usually in previous versions there were not satisfing.

Did you mean Archicad setup or Graphic Card?

I meant Archicad setup. My graphics card has AA turned off on default. Perhaps that influenced the outcome. But now it's fine
