    To Make a Slide

    1. Display the view of a drawing that you want to use for the slide.
    2. At the Command prompt, enter mslide.
    3. In the Create Slide File dialog box, enter a name and select a location for the slide.

      The name of the drawing is the default name for the slide and automatically appends the .sld file extension.

    4. Click Save.

      The current drawing remains on the screen, and the slide file is saved in the folder that you specified.
