Saving 2D view as a jpg

Post by John Murphy »

Hello all.

I'm sure we've covered this before, but I cannot find an answer for the following question.

In the last update in aspire, I thought that you can now save the 2D line drawing(vectors) in JPG format.

I found references to screen shots and the snip tool, but for some reason I thought we could now perform this function within Aspire.

For the life of me I can't figure it out, but I'm sure I was able to do this.

I will certainly stand corrected if this is not the case.

Can anyone help me out with this?

John

hi John,
In the latest release you can use the print function to print a hard copy.
I also have cutePDF write installed and I can print directly to a pdf file.
Or you can do a screen capture.

Saving it as a bitmap/jpg/png is for a toolpathed preview.

Hope this helps

Thanks Don. Maybe I was thinking of the Print function.

It's tough getting old:)
