Extract drafting image (NX 8.5)

[cowski]

I am revising a drawing that has a drafting image in it. The drafting image contains text (electrical specs for a power supply); as part of the revision, some text in this image needs to be updated. Is there a way to export/extract the drafting image to a raster file (.tiff, .jpg, .png, etc) so that it can be edited and imported to the new revision drawing?

I didn't find anything in the help file that was relevant. I've tried to cut/copy the drafting image and paste into an image editor, but it seems nothing was copied from NX.

I found a way to do it.
Open the NX part file with 7-zip, navigate to drafting\images, double click the desired image, choose what program to use to open the image (MS paint works), and in the image editor perform a "save-as" to a new location.

I'd be interested if anyone has an easier/alternative method.

What happens if you Plot your drawing to TIF?

Unfortunately for me, the image is scaled down on the drawing and overlaid onto the part geometry. If I plot to TIF, or use a screen capture, it would not be of the same quality as the original.
