Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and suggestions.

Unfortunately, Bricksmith does not have any native ability to export the images it generates. Since they would be unsuitable for printing anyway, this feature is not apt to ever appear. What I personally do is render each step individually in MacMegaPOV, using the find_edges command to produce professional-quality images. Bricksmith is optimized for onscreen drawing, so the renderings look infinitely better than anything it could ever do itself.

But if you like what you see onscreen, I suppose you can just take a screenshot.

Parts list exporting is unavailable as well, but there is no reason it couldn’t be implemented. Is there a standard file-format for exported part lists, from Peeron, perhaps?

(...) Just installed this and I think it's great! I have a few questions. I was looking for a way to save each step as an image and for how to save or export a parts list to text. Are these features available? Russell BayLUG (19 years ago, 21-Mar-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
