    in Mastercam X go to "Screen" and use the option for "Screen to clip board" you will be prompted to pick an area on the screen or the hole screen. then you past this into an email or word or some software.
    I am including a small part from a file I am working on. I pasted it into windows Paint and saved as a JPG.
