Hello - can anyone help me with this? I have several diagrams that I need to copy from Vensim to Word, for a paper that is soon to be published. The problem I have is that when I select each diagram, and then do the standard ctrl-C and ctrl-V to copy and paste it, I get a much larger area. The diagram itself only occupies the top left corner of the pasted diagram, and the rest is just white space.
Thanks, Mike

Re: Problem when copying a Vensim diagram
This is an annoyance that came up recently with screens operating at high pixel pitches.
Two options:
- You can use the crop tool (in the Word/Ppt picture format ribbon) to eliminate the white space, then scale up the image.
- Use the latest 8.1 version, and switch to the new sketch format (Tools menu)
A better solution is in the works.

Re: Problem when copying a Vensim diagram
If you are on Windows, there is a tool that my son introduced me to this week called the sniping tool. The sniping tool captures regions of a screen.

Re: Problem when copying a Vensim diagram
Right - if you type "snip" in the search bar the snipping tool app comes up. <Windows>+<Shift>+S is a shortcut.
I also like "Jing," a free tool from TechSmith (publisher of Camtasia).
