AutoCad to PowerPoint??

AutoCad to PowerPoint??

AutoCad to PowerPoint??

(OP)
I would like to "copy", cut & paste, or whatever a detail from an AutoCad drawing into a PowerPoint presentation.  Can anyone give me a list of the steps?  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

RE: AutoCad to PowerPoint??

You can print the details you want in *.jpg format, and then you can add them to your power point presentation.

RE: AutoCad to PowerPoint??

In Autocad, punch the print-screen key. And in PowerPoint paste the image. You may crop, resize etc. in the power point itself.

RE: AutoCad to PowerPoint??

I have used the WMF file format. Save as WMF in CAD which can be inserted into power point and MS word as well.

Regards

RE: AutoCad to PowerPoint??

I also do what Lutfi mentioned. I also saved a font format that transfers directly into Power Point. Some of my existing fonts changed (must be from similar shape files?) when I inserted the Windows Meta File into any of the Office products.

RE: AutoCad to PowerPoint??

I use Snag-it www.techsmith.com to capture the window or region then insert it was a image into Powerpoint or Word et cetera. Works very easily and smoothly.

RE: AutoCad to PowerPoint??

(OP)
Thanks for all the good suggestions.  I propably should have noted the version of the programs I'm using:

AutoCad Light 2000i and PowerPoint 2000 SP-1

I've tried a copy from AutoCad then past in PowerPoint, but I've having trouble figuring out resizing the drawing.  The copy in PowerPoint won't fill the slide and when I print it out it won't fill the page - I get the slide size.

I'll keep trying!  Thanks again, I'm on the right path.
