Card SnapShot from Negative Rect?

[Scott Rossi]

Thanks for the idea Bernd.  I'm trying to snapshot the card because I want
to capture multiple objects/groups that are present in a designated rect,
along with the card background pattern (where theRect includes negative
values).

export snapshot from rect theRect of this cd at size 120,120 to img "map"


I supposed I could ignore the card and temporarily group the controls to
be able to snapshot from a single object, but then I have to relayer
everything back to where it was originally.  This is not ideal, but
possible.

AFAIK, it's not possible to designate multiple objects for a snapshot, is
it?
