    Hi All,

    I'm posting this in the CAD group, though it applies to any on-screen
    markups ...

    We just attended a demo of an on-line collaboration tool which boasted
    of its on-line markup capabilities for any object on the screen - CAD
    or otherwise. It looked like their product had automated the Windows
    copy/paste functions for the area of the screen that the user selected.
    Then it raised the office drawing toolbar in the same way that Word or
    Powerpoint would let you insert circles and arrows onto a document
    drawing.

    Right now, our company doesn't do collaborative engineering on-line.
    I'm not saying that we won't in the future, but I would rather spend
    big money on these systems when I know that there is a definite need.
    In order to dip our feet in the collaboration pool, I can use
    NetMeeting for sharing desktops. (Its slow for solids, but not
    hideously so when we're in the same WAN.) We can teach people to do
    screen shots and markups the long way, but I'd rather find a tool to
    automate this. Does anyone know of a product out there that will to do
    the screen capture and markup? We have two tools in-house that
    automate screen capture - PrintKey and the HTML Help Image Editor - but
    neither does markups.

    Sorry for the long-winded question. Thanks in advance!

    Hello Ms. RADO,

    I use a product called SnagIt form Techsmith. http://www.techsmith.com/

    It does allow some markup. You can download a trial version from the above
    website.

    HTH,
    Muggs

    Hi Muggs,

    Thanks for the advice! The SnagIt website has some great assistance -
    including a review that compares their product against others in the
    industry. Its a good starting point for us!

    Regards,
    Robin
