That's weird...I also get the same thing.

For now, please use snipping tool or screenshot as a workaround.

Me and my mates have the same problem, I can't even print a readable file.

    Hi Pietro4,

    May I know what do you meant by "I can't even print a readable file."? Is the issue related to Modelsim? Could you help to describe more on this? Appreciate if you could share the screenshot.

    Best Regards,
    Richard

      Hi ,
      I managed to solve the problems regarding the printing of files.
      I still have problem to export an image from wave, the same as @NH_Dal.

      Thanks for the help.

        I am still pending for engineering to investigate on this.
        It seems to work in Linux OS, could you try in Linux and verify whether the image export works?
