      I am using AutoCad Truview on my desktop PC to display and print my workshop drawings but have been left wondering if there is a means of copying and saving-as the images in an alternative format in order to be able to view individual drawings on my phone. Perhaps someone could advise on the options available.

          Snipping tool will produce a .jpg image of whatever you highlight on the screen.

          Printing to a pdf writer will give you a pdf to open on the phone

            Can you use "print screen" on your desktop to screen capture the image, copy it into Paint and then save it as a variety of image formats? You can also crop it in Paint as required. A bit long winded maybe, but should get the results you need.

              If your PC is Windows 7 or newer you should have a "Print to PDF" option in your printer menu. If not there are free add-ons such as Bullzip for XP or later (they also offer an unsupported version for Windows 2000/2003).

              Edit:  There are also AutoCAD viewers for iPhone and Android if all you want is to view on the phone.

                I use Greenshot for screen grabs of all or part of the display and works across multiple screens if you have them. It gives a number of options for saving, printing or copying and uses the print screen key.

                  On my PC hitting print screen opens up the snipping tool and you instantly get the option for rectangular, freeform, window or full screen snip.

                    Hi All – Following the above threads I have installed LightShot which appeared as an option from downloading GreenShot and this has given the means of 'grabbing' the TruView drawings which have now been copied to my phone. Many thanks for all the help and assistance provided.
