eDrawings Highlighting Save
eDrawings Highlighting Save
(OP)
I work for a mid-size industrial machinery manufacturer in Michigan. I'm not an engineer myself. My degree is in Communications and Public Relations. I, among other things, create manuals for our machines, each of which is custom.
Lately, I've taken to creating interactive electronic manuals with a graphic representation of the machine, that can be moused over to highlight individual components, see their name and item number, and access their drawings and bill of materials. To do this, I use eDrawings, highlight an item, and then pull out a screen shot with screenhunter.
Problem is, no matter how hard I try, the screenshots never cover quite the same area, skipping around by a couple of pixels, which gives the manual a very herky-jerky feel.
I would prefer to save the images directly from edrawings, but it doesn't save the highlighting on a given section. I want the selected section to appear bright green and highlighted in the saved picture. Is this possible?

Thanks though! That's probably the fastest way for now.

Alt+Print Screen on edrawings containing your dynamic highlight.
Grab Irfanview window.
Ctrl+V
Ctrl+S -> file name
lather rinse repeat.
Then go to the directory with the saved images and do a batch crop on them all.
