Q:
I'd like to add an attachment
of a dialog that I’ve been working on. What is the recommended method of doing this?
| |

|
A:
When your dialog
is visible in AutoCAD type [Alt+PrtScr]. This captures the dialog only. Open
MS-Paint and type [Ctrl+E] for Attributes, then enter a very small value for
the width and height. Then type [Ctrl+V] for paste. Save the image as a bmp
or jpg and upload it.
