Screenshot is a Windows feature, in Windows 10 it is the Win+Shift+S key combination that will let you select a screen area and this is automatically copied onto your clipboard

Lightshot will be your new best friend  The best screenshot tool EVAR! And free.

Not free but THIS is what I use. The editor is awesome

[f700es]

Ouch, $50, not happening when I can get one for free. Lightshot does all I need. I've seen that one before, yes it is a nice piece of software. To me that's like paying for a zip/unzip utility or a web browser (for those of use old enough to remember those days).

SnagIt is awesome. I use it every day.  @f700es - I can't speak for lightshot, but SnagIt is more than just a screen capture utility. Yeah, I do remember the days of Netscape Navigator, and WinZip.

Yeah that's a bit steep but really it is great software. When I purchased it many moons ago, I got 2 licenses for $30!

Yeah I know SnagIt does a bit more but as I said above "for my needs" I am good. I've used it before and yes it was good but work paid for it. I'd not spend my $$ on it as I can get by with free options
I remember seeing Netscape for sale at BestBuy, in a box. LOL! I also paid $1,500 for a 486 DX4, 16 mb ram, 540 mb hdd computer with a 15" CRT. LOL

In 2000 or so we were buying 21" Viewsonic CRT's for ~$1k a piece! Now I have three 25" screens that cost ~$900. A magical time we live in.

I'd second that - it's superb.

Lee do you use it for the screen recording looking for something at moment.

 

Also Gadwin works well very simple allows screen area selection.

One could do it via .NET,

With lisp you may need an external application on which you can invoke the SendKeys method in order to trigger the app's shortcut to take the screenshot.

However if region cropping is required, then you'll need to pass the points as parameters, so probably .NET

screenshot.dwg

[steven-g]

Can you show a screen shot, of what you are hoping to do.

Does that screen shot need to be separate jpg's or PDF's just the rebar or also the sizes, counts

produced to a certain size, scale.

This isn't a lot of information to work with.

(defun c:t1 ( / ss i fol e lst ip p1 p2 txt)
  (if (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "TEXT"))))
    (repeat (setq i (sslength ss))
      (if (wcmatch (cdr (assoc 1 (entget (setq e (ssname ss (setq i (1- i))))))) "@#,@##,@###") (setq lst (cons e lst)))))
  (if lst
    (progn
      (princ "\nWorking.....")
      (setvar 'filedia 0)
      (setq fol (getvar 'dwgprefix))
      (foreach e lst
    (setq ip (cdr (assoc 11 (entget e))) txt (cdr (assoc 1 (entget e)))
          p1 (list (+ (car ip) -0.75) (+ (cadr ip) 0.75)) p2 (list (+ (car ip) 15.22) (+ (cadr ip) -0.75)))
    (vl-cmdf "._zoom" "w" p1 p2 "jpgout" (strcat fol txt) "w" p1 p2 "")
      )
    )
  )
  (setvar 'filedia 1)
  (princ)

thanks very good , but i want just column Shape take screenshot ! can you right code for that !?

[rlx]

Show a picture of how the end result should look

[ronjonp]

My guess is change this:

p1  (list (+ (car ip) -0.75) (+ (cadr ip) 0.75))
p2  (list (+ (car ip) 15.22) (+ (cadr ip) -0.75))

to this:

p1  (mapcar '+ ip '(1.75 0.7))
p2  (mapcar '+ ip '(4.25 -0.7))
