Creating a picture for documentation
Creating a picture for documentation
(OP)
Does anyone know a way of creating a picture file (or equivalent) of an assembly. I would like to use the picture in an assembly procedure. If I can snap a picture of what I see on the screen I can paste it into Word or PowerPoint and edit it from there. Right now I print the picture and paste it by hand into the document.
Thanks
pwinn

If you opt for the solution provided by MadMango (JPEG file), you may need to "turn" it on. Under the Tools pulldown, click on Add-Ins and then check-amrk the one called "Solidworks JPEG".
If you want to "massage" the picture with different lighting, floor and wall textures, etc. then by all means manxJim is correct about using PhotoWorks, if you have it. It is a bit confusing to figure out, but once you got it, it can be a benefit.
Good luck,
Mr. Pickles
