drawing object

Is there a way to allow the user to save his/her drawings?

You could use the screen capture object and save it to a file.

I was playing with that, but could not figure out how to isolate just the drawing.

do you know how the sequence of events is supposed to go?

This is sequence I tried
output--set filename
capture--frame
capture--dimensions x,y
capture--point of origin

It keeps capturing the whole frame, but when I just put dimensions and origin, it doesn't save anything

Let's see, the sequence that has worked for me is:
Set filename from selector
Set area origin to
Set area dimensions to
Capture active window

Thanks Steve,

I just tried it and it worked!
This is something that should definitely be put into the documentation for the screen capture object. It's a huge in relation to the drawing object.

Thanks again!

Yes, this is the kind of info that would be very usefull to have included in the help for MMF products. They show all of the actions, conditions, etc. for the objects but that does not tell you how to actually acomplish things.

That's what the many examples that come on the MMF2 CD (or in the \examples\ folder) are for.

That may be true,

But figuring out how to use something should not be about how clever or diligent you are. :P :) If I'm saying as an ender user that's where I looked and would think to look, maybe it wouldn't hurt. Just a minor piece of advice. ;)
