How do I export the Outline view only?

How do I export the Outline view only as a bitmap? Everything I've tried thus far has resulted in exporting the full vector rather than just the outline view.

That's an interesting question, I don't think there's a way except taking a screenshot.

You can save the file, select all, open the fill and stroke dialog, change fill to none, stroke to 2 or 3 px (depending on the size of your drawing) export the png, and then DON'T SAVE! do a revert. I can't think of any other workaround.
will this give you what you want?
Your mind is what you think it is.
