Currently I run Mentorgraphics Modelsim in batch mode for a few nightly simulations. My simulations run fantastic and in my transcript files I can see all errors/warnings/etc. but it would be nice to see the waveform for every simulation in a image, too, without simulating the projects again (it takes a long time...). Modelsim/Questasim is able to export this bitmap in GUI mode (Select wave window and go to menu bar: "File -> Export -> Image").
Is there any opportunity to save the waveform as image in batch mode OR GUI mode with Tcl/Modelsim commands? I read the commands about Modelsim (Modelsim SE User Manual) but I didn't find anything.
I am using Modelsim PE 10.4c @ Win7 64bit.
I am very thankful for any help/tips! :)

Unless your simulation is short enough, saving a bitmap of the full zoom won't help much.
What I suggest you to do is save the waveform by using vsim -wlf waveform.wlf .... Later you can view the by doing vsim -view waveform.wlf.
If you used a wave.do file to add signals when running the simulation, you must call it when viewing also, i.e.:
vsim -wlf waveform.wlf -do wave.do
And then
vsim -view waveform.wlf -do wave.do
