How to capture the images and make figures?

Hi,
I am trying to make figures based on the results in the screen.
Is there an option where you can customize the scale bars and capture images of the screen. Or do you simply use the capture function on the keyboard or different software?

If you're talking about capturing what you see in the 3d view, have you tried using the tool "Render to File" under the "Display" section of the menu bar?

Great thanks. I have tried all other functions but never thought 'render to file' would do this work.

Out of pure curiosity, as I often work as a UX/UI designer and I'm also currently translating CC, can I ask you what you thought about 'render to file' just from looking at the name? And what would you call the tool instead? Just asking, if you don't mind of course...

Render to file sounded as if it would save cloud details in a text file rather then capturing an image.
I would actually use the term 'capture figure (or image)' or' export image'.
Best,
Kwan
