Captures any graphic displayed for a particular object in the Geometry window. A Figure object can be further manipulated (rotated for example), unlike an Image object, which is a static screen shot of the current model view or an imported static figure. Popular uses of a Figure object are for presenting specific views and settings for later inclusion in a report.
Note: The Figure feature supports the option only for the Display Style property when capturing figures on the Mesh object.
