* In your windows machine you will need to install IrfanView. Install both IrfanView and Plugins.
* Then login to solaris environment. At the command prompt, type snapshot
* This will start snapshot program in a new window, which will keep blinking (Really annoying. Who the hell designed it?)
* Click on the tab snap in the snapshot program window.
* Click on the window you want to capture (e.g. the Virtuoso Schematic Editor Window with your schematic inside)
* Click the button save and select the directory where you want to save the image. (Default name of the image is snapshot.rs)
* Now ftp this image-file to your windows machine.
* Rename the file with extension .ras (i.e call the file schematic.ras or something)
* Open this file in IrfanView. You should be able to view this image. (If not, then probably you forgot to install the plugin package of IrfanView)
* Save this file as a bitmap. File -> Save as ---- (select the .bmp format)

shamelessly grabbed off google somewhere.
