Computer Challenged

How do I get my floor plan from 3DHA to here? Tried a couple times last night and I couldn't figure it out.

I had to run through the procedure to be able to tell you what to do - had a bit of a time remembering.

Open the view you want in 3DHA - full screen   - hit control or alt-print screen  -- on my laptop I have to hold down the function button to get the blue keys that has print screen.  That puts it on your clipboard -

Open  Paint- in Accessories -- hit edit/paste -- that will show the page on your paint screen - get the rectangle select tool - select the portion of the drawing you want -- edit/cut -   file/new -- paste the cut into the new screen -- name it and save as JPEG to your desktop or some place you can find it--- put on photobucket -- copy img tags - put into Countryplans posting.

Thanks Glenn, I'll try that this week.

Glenn, could you put that in reference, pictures, or something where we'll be sure to find it?

As a procedure it's a pain, but not very complicated, once you know how--and have done it a couple of times.  Which I haven't yet.

[glenn kangiser]

No problem, Amanda.  I hope it's clear enough.

[Amanda_931]

Oh, yes, It's perfectly clear.  Just not obvious that you have to translate through something on the the order of Paint.

Thank heavens for the "copy" function.

I posted it in forum news.

Save a step..get a screen capture program such as Gadwin Print Screen.  With this you can grab whatever portion of your screen you want instead of the whole desktop or active window like ctrl and alt do.

I had a shareware one but it was time to pay so  I did the above. :-/  See you guys later - gotta work.
