    Hey Gang......
    I'm using Autocad ver. 2000.
    What's the best way to do this?
    Thx

    P.S. I used to make a plot file to EPS then covert to .jpg but it's been a
    while and I'm not sure this is the best way.

    Using raster formats in a cad environment is a bad idea. If you have to
    distribute, use vector formats like WMF (windows metafile) or PDF (packed
    postscript format). They can be zoomed in without bitmap "checkerboard"
    jaggies.

    Cliff, we use this program called Printkey 2000. its free and is a nice
    little program that allows
    you to window any part of your drawing, change background colors and save it
    as JPG, GIF, BMP
    ICO, EMF, WMF. try it.

    dunno bout '2000 , but with 2005 u can plot direct to .jpg file - check the
    dropdowns in the Plot dialog. but I agree with previous about raster format
    problem.
