Hello,
I have bobcad 20.6 and would like to know how or if I can save a drawing and to be able to open it in windows like you would a picture. So I can draw something and email it as a picture type file.

Hold down at the same time the Ctrl,Alt and Prtscn (two key above delete) now you have copy screen shot to clip board. Open paint edit-paste save as jpeg see below. This is a windows function and will work for what ever is on your screen

Try just the PrtScn button. (Print Screen) No need to use Ctrl or Alt on any of my PC's.Originally Posted by lakeside

i think he wanted to have it on the windows clip board?So it can be saved as a jpeg for e-mailing and yes print screen will do just that and print the screen. but by holding down the Ctrl (Controll key) with the Alt (altar key) you change the funcition of Prtsn (print screen key) from a printer function to a windows clipboard function and can be pasted into windows paint to be saved as a jpeg

On all my computers, I just hit the print screen button to copy to the clipboard. No alt or control. I don't recall the print screen button actually printing since the DOS days.Originally Posted by lakeside
OK, I see what it does now. Prints the active document, or window?

when I hit my PrtScn botton nothing happens but I do need a new keyboard it's the $15 that stopping me
No I don't think so. When you hit the "Print Screen" hard button do you open Microsoft Paint>Edit>Paste? What O/S are you using "Windows XP"?Originally Posted by lakeside

If you are only trying to do an image of wireframe data (or the data in the regular CAD screen), you can use the copy and paste method to another program.
Don't you just love OLE?

OLE=Object Linking and Embedding
Basically it is the ability for the user to link or embed data from one application to another.
