From time to time, the need to export images from AutoCAD arrives. (To include in PowerPoint class lectures for example.) AutoCAD offers two commands to perform this action easily from within AutoCAD. 'PNGOUT' outputs a PNG file and 'JPGOUT' outputs a JPEG file. Invoking either command, AutoCAD prompts for a file name to use when saving the output file, followed by requesting the selection of the objects to be included in the file.
Neither command allows a great degree of control over the output result; colors and lineweights are based on the display settings rather than plot settings, so control over scale is also not possible. For more discerning users, the output of a PDF file which can be opened in Photoshop and resaved most likely remains the better option.
