copy a front

[aurelia]

I need to make a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation of the front panel of a LabView program. I tried to copy and past the front panel in paint but the font and object change size color and position. Do you know what i should do to have the exact same front panel on Microsoft Powerpoint? Thanks

How do you copy&paste the front panel?

Click on the title bar of your front panel (to make it the active window). Now press "alt+PrtScr" on the keyboard.

Open Powerpoint and select "Paste" (or ctrl+v). Better? 🙂

That works. However when i paste it in the powerpoint slide it ios too big. If I change the size the font are really too small for the presentation. Do you know what I should do? Thanks

I always forget about that. Here you go...

Thank you. Can you tell me how to use it?

I think you are always going to have that problem because powerpoint is simply scaling the picture to fit in the slide. If your front panel is too big for the slide, it's always going to look weird when it scales down. If you want the image at true size, I would suggest cropping the part of the image that you need and then pasting it into the slide.

The waveform that I placed on the front panel is just to have something on the front panel, so you can ignore that part of the block diagram. The second part of the block diagram opens the a vi reference and uses the Get Panel Image method of an Invoke node. I fed a path constant to write out the jpg to C:\temp
