Or... you could try a "screen grab" Alt+Print Screen, then paste into picture handling program.
You could upload the files to Google or Dropbox etc.
I have 185 files in my Foundry Mill Directory, most are CAD drawings and 3D details.
As you probably know CAD drawings are drawn at 1:1 then reduced to the required scale for printing.
The largest file I have is a 1990 1:1(yes full size) OS plan of Seacroft Gipton and Crossgates which is 9,471KB; the file cost me nearly £2,000.
I have added lots of historical details including Mather's Leat and Foundry Mill.
The drawing has several 'layers' which can be switched on or off to reveal the extra details which I have added.
I would like to share the information but am reluctant to give it away, and most of it is going into my History of Seacroft book if I ever finish it
I can create a jpg of that file but it would be 303.000KB!!!
The 3D files are best seen on screen so that you can rotate and zoom etc. which is more fun
I to illustrate the difficulty of posting details, I have attached a small portion of the Mill building section which would benefit an explanation.
I still have a some unresolved details, so I thought a small meet up of 'Foundry Mill fans' would also allow me too pick a few brains.
I have appreciated the support and encouragement given by the group and would like to offer an opportunity to show the overall picture and then zoom into the nuts and bolts details.
Nothing grand- perhaps a pub with a 13amp socket for the laptop, a pint and a discussion.
