Render Window

Find

The Render window is divided into the following two panes:

Image pane. Displays the progress of the current rendering and the final rendered image once the current rendering operation has been completed.
History and Statistics pane. At the bottom, collapsed by default; provides access to recently rendered images of the current model and statistics about the objects used to create a rendered image.

Rendering from any drawing always appears in its corresponding Render window.

From here, you can

Save the image to a file.
Save a copy of the image to a file.
Monitor the progress of the current rendering.
Track the rendering history of the model.
Delete an image from the rendering history.
Zoom into a section of the rendered image, pan around the image, and then zoom back out.
