How do I transfer a computor aided drawing (cad) to powerpoint so it can be sent by e-mail?

Answer 1

first, you mean an AutoCAD drawing, u can send it by email as u do with any usual attachment.

second, if u want to sent as PPT any way yo have to transfer your drawing to a photo any way.

to do so, define a new plotter on AutoCAD by pulling down menu tools--> options--> plot and publish tab--> add & configure plotters
that will aopen u the Acad plotters click on add a plooter wizard click and follow the instructions
NP: don't forget to choose your printer manifacturer as raster file formats and choose your file extention (JPEG is the best)

third, to output your file as JPEG just in AutoCAD go to file--> plot--> and choose your new Jpeg printer

hope this is useful

Screen grab it. Make sure you can see the whole drawing on the screen. For PC click 'Print Screen', and then open an image program. Paint comes as standard. Press new (Ctrl N), then press paste (Ctrl V), then save as a jpeg and insert into powerpoint.

For Mac click Command - shift - 4, and select round the drawing. This will save a picture file onto your desktop. Then open in a image program and save as a jpeg.

You can select all then copy and paste into powerpoint. There can be problems resizing and strangely enough it is sometimes easier to paste into a text box in word where you can adjust the sizing more easily.
