Cut and Paste to Word

1-17SISD Feb 2, 2008 7:24 PM

I have a lot of Solidworks drawings that I need to import into MS Word for instructions guidelines etc. Sometimes I just need to cut and paste a view. So far I cannot accomplish any of these tasks.

Is there a way to do this? or do I need to purchase some software?

Either save the drawings as JPG images and then copy and paste, or use the Insert > Objects function in Word.

You can also take a screen shot and either paste the whole screen shot into MS Word or you can crop it in paint and then insert it.

Thanks for the help guys. I also found that if i saved the file as a PDF,I could cut and paste into Word as well.

PS. This is an excellent Forum,been using Solidworks for a long time,but was never aware of the Forum.
