I was wondering if anybody knew how to make a slide show to show off work that a person has done. I was thinking of making one of these because I would like to show others what I have done. THanks all for yall help in advance.

First, you will need to save your drawings in a raster format. You can use the free download View32 to save your drawings in any of several raster formats.

MGI PhotoSuite 8.05 can be used to produce and display your slide show. You can set the speed the slides flip and add optional music and the whole thing can run continuously unmanned like in a waiting room or in a computer show booth display. Works on a laptop too.

PhotoSuite 8.05 is no longer available except in used software stores. The newer versions, PhotoSuite II, PhotoSuite III, etc., are extreme Windows bloatware and run too slowly for practical use. Stick to the older 8.05 version.

I see two other possibilities:

1) You can create snapshots of your screen, using mslide comand, and than create a script to show them on screen (using Intellicad)

2) I would do the following:
- Export the drawing to Windows Metafile format (*.WMF), using the export comand.
- Create an apresentation in Powerpoint
- Insert the images

WMF format is vectorial, this offers better quality than raster format.
