Powerpoint and then we convert it to a pdf. I will definitely play around with adding images and see if that can work for the additional details I'm looking for. One last question I have is if LPub works so that I can have 1) the same image (like a logo) show up on every page of every set of instructions I work on without having to add it for every project and 2) default backgrounds, fonts, etc. used for every project without having to reset it as I want it every time. Thank you so much for your help!

We currently have instructions in Powerpoint. We used to use an older version of LPub (2.4.8.0) along with POV-Ray, and that generated an image of the assembly at each step as well as an image for the parts used for each step, and the final BOM. We take those images and put them into Powerpoint and add things like clarifying text, arrows, sometimes additional views if it helps make things more clear. I couldn't get the older version of LPub/POV-Ray to work together on my new computer, so I'm using the new LPub and trying to make it work for our old process. Maybe newer version of LPub will allow for the flexibility I'm looking for if I look into it a little further.

Yeah. I think we've gotten too comfortable with the flexibility of using the images in generated by older versions of LPub/POV-Ray and putting them into something like Powerpoint that we have more experience with as opposed to using the instructions and figuring out the LPub options for making them look like we want. Thanks for the response. Thanks! Right now I'm exporting the instructions as pngs and then cropping down to just the part that I want. Takes a little time, but the image quality is pretty good. I'm going to play around with the software as is and see if I can make it do what I want.

Question from a relatively new user. When I open a file in LPub 4.0.0.11 and click through the instructions, a folder containing part and assembly png images is created. I would also like png images for parts used per step (the top graphic on the LPub instructions page). Is there a way to generate these images automatically? Thanks!!
