Yes Mark, that's what you need to do.

 

You know how to snag a screen shot right?

thanks

Mark,

 

One way is to zoom in as needed, push "print Scrn" key, open any picture editing software, and paste it in.

Alt+PrtScr will only capture the active window. I use that one frequently.

 

Also, in Mastercam I have a hotkey assigned to the screen to clipboard function and this will allow me to window something. Generally, I'll get the view I want, go to File, Next Menu, Hardcopy, (this makes the background white) and then use my hotkey and window what I need to. It works great for setup sheets and stuff.

Mark,

 

The corel approach will be the best bet. The capture to clipboard needs a mechanism to create a file and this is the only way I know how. Also, I use this feature to create robust work instructions in MSWord for programming parts so others can see the method to my hacking...

 

This will work in Smartcam as well

I use Screen/to Clipboard a lot. I created a config file called 'display' with a white background and good lighting settings, so I can just click on that and then save whatever views I want.

 

What I haven't been able to figure out is how to save Verify as an animated Gif. Anyone know?

I did the machining part of my Avatar by grabbing a screenie at the intervals I wanted to use, then trimmed and patched them together to make the frames for the GIF. (That was a few years back, and was kind of old school). There's a program called SnagIT that does text, image, animation and sound captures with many many good settings. It will capture your verify and turn it into an ANI. You can set different capture methods, i.e. Active Window, Screen, Section, Fixed Section etc.
