Trying to print a screen image of a Inventor dialog box. Using Windows 2K
Pro, no SP's. Looked in the windows help files, no help there? BTW, would
installing the windows SP's improve inventor's performance?
Thanks, Bob

just press the Print Screen button on your keyboard, then go into MSPaint or
whatever and press Paste (CTRL-V)....

installing SP's is recommended, for sure... (if for nothing else but
security).

Try this; it should work...

Get your screen looking the way you want it (mind where your mouse curser is
placed), then: Control+Print Screen. This sends the screen image to
clipboard. Open MS Paint, and paste as a new document. Then you can print
from there. The old Print Screen command was a DOS thing; Windows takes an
extra step.

As for the SPs, I've always kept current on them. I know with earlier
versions of Inventor that having the latest Windows service packs helped
performance. I assume it's still true.

Cheers,
Walt

I've got the following info from Windows 2000 Help:

To make a copy of only the active window,
press ALT+PRINT SCREEN.

To copy the entire screen as it appears on your monitor,
press PRINT SCREEN.

The CTRL key seems like a no-op in this case
(i.e., CTRL+PRINT SCREEN = PRINT SCREEN).

Use this to make a copy of your application options settings, then if you
crash or reinstall you have an easy copy.

To do a print screen of a dialog box press Alt+Print Scrn and then paste the image where you want it.

I do this for most of my software that I have customized settings for. Create a Word document (for example) and Alt+Prt Scrn from the app settings to the Word doc. Quick and easy.

Oops. You're right. A long time ago, I saw an IT guy Ctrl+Print Screen,
and I've been doing it every since.

Funny, some of the stuff we 'know' sometimes. Sorry about the bad info.

need from a screen capture program. 8^)
