3D scatter plot axis labels missing in XY-view, YZ-view, XZ-view when image is exported

[azuther]

I have a 3D scatter plot which I want to be able to export the current view of the plot.  If the plot is being viewed in either XY- or XZ- or YZ-perspective, my axis labels to not show up in the exported image.  If the plot is being viewed in the "3D" view, axis labels appear just fine, as expected.  Is there an export setting I'm missing?

Hi azuther,

You might try the "Get Image" method instead of the "Image to file" method. It returns the image exactly as it is displayed on the front panel. You can combine that with the "Write BMP File" VI to save it to your computer. I've included links to documentation for both of these below.

Well, to my surprise that did it.  I assumed the only difference between the two methods was that one bundled the save-to-file right into the method itself, but apparently there's more differences at a lower level.  Everything appears in the exported images just fine now, thanks.

P.S. I also had tried right-clicking the plot and using the context menu to export to file, and that also resulted in a plot with missing axis labels and scales.
