    there are many ways, I print the drawing to a "virtual" JPG printer. You can add one the same way you add any printer, its in the list somewhere.

    Are you familiar with the JPGOUT command?

    Consider using something other than JPG if your deliverable allows it.
    Why? See: http://www.dotsoft.com/procedures.htm#PlotToRaster

    You could press the PRINTSCREEN button, open a graphic program like Irfanview or even Paint, paste the image, cut the margins and save in the desired format.
    It's nice to be nice, but sometimes is nicer to be evil!.
    Tip: Please do not PM or email me with CAD questions - use the forums, you'll get an answer sooner.

    Default snipping tool ..

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I hate vista but have to persevere with it… on eof the great attachments that are loaded with my DELL is a program called ‘snipping tool’ its fantastic for CAD files.
    Quite often instead of having to convert to pdf (I always end up with enormous files) to avoid this particularly if you just require a medium quality picture I use ‘Snipping tool’ essentially it enables to instantly box out what ever region you require that is currently on screen and save (and tittle) as ‘jpeg’ its been a huge time saver for me providing a solution to what your asking about.
