    Hi Jopheza

    The most effective way to get better quality diagrams in the current version is to either:

    1 - Zoom right in, take the best screen shot you can, paste and crop out what you don't need.

    2 - Create bigger diagrams and copy and paste these into word.

    Granted it'll take a bit of tweaking and you might not get the hi res export of individual diagrams like we have coming in v2 but should get you near it. ND has been used in several publications, in both print and the digital realm so it can be done.

    And I know it no good to you right now but v2 will also bring rich text formatting so there won't be any need to use a third party application like Word.

    Thanks

    Hi Jopheza

    Can you point me to any examples of ND being used in the "digital realm"?

    Thanks, Myles

    Doug Marks uses ND in his Metal Method series over at www.metalmethod.com

    Hopefully there's enough to get you started but let me know if you have any further questions.

    Hi Dean

    Thanks for those links. I've looked at them all now and was wondering if you are you considering improving the image output quality of your fretboards? So that when they're copied from ND to another program, or website, that they are crystal clear as they are scaled up in size. I guess I'm talking SVG or similar for just the fretboards, not the whole page...

    Cheers, Myles

    Hi Myles

    More than considering it, it's already in process for ND v2. In fact, we recently gave a little sneak peak of v2 at the Registry of Guitar Tutors, showing off all the new export options (and more) and without giving to much away all of what you're asking for is in there

    Hope that answers you question

    Thanks

    H there, any news on this? Basically the new updates to ND have screwed my workflow. Now when I'm copying and pasting big diagrams from ND to word, the files are pasting in at around 8mb! Word won't render a PDF if the file size is anything more than 20mb!

    All I want to do is get my images into word without a load of cutting in photoshop and via a copy and paste. ND just got unusable :-(

    Shouldn't be so hard to get a 300dpi image from one program to another?

    Hi Joseph,

    I'm pretty sure we haven't changed anything relating to fretboard copy or even the exporting nitty-gritty in the 1.11.x releases so I'm a bit surprised about the issue.

    I can try out and copy/paste to a couple different programs with v1.10 (that's what you had before , right?) and also 1.11.3 and see if there's any difference in file sizes created by the target apps.

    Could you give me some more details so I can follow a similar pattern.. Windows or Mac? How big are the fretboards in ND, e.g. looking at the horizontal & vertical rulers will give you an idea of pixels. I'll ping you an email also actually, maybe you could paste a fretboard or two in when replying!

    Perhaps something else has also changed on your setup - new OS install, Word upgrade, something like a monitor change could trigger colour depth change and bigger images, or switching to a Retina Mac etc.. Have you tried pasting in other images or just grabbing a section of the screen? We can test the ND side at least to verify there's no changes there!

    ND2 has been a long time coming, but there's a lot more in there than export changes!
