Is there a way to copy the class diagram generated by the LINQ To SQL ORM in VS2008 without using print screen (yes, I know it's pathetic)?

For example, when I create database projects in Visual Studio I can copy the database diagrams and save them later in Paint.NET in any image format. Any idea or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Print as PDF works for me using Acrobat.

Why didn't I think of doing that? Haha I even have Cute PDF installed. Anyways, it's very strange that VS doesn't have something as straightforward as that copying a generated class diagram. Thanks +1

I don't think it's possible.

Cropper is a great alternative for PrintScreen

I don't think you can do this through Visual Studio. However a quick web search revealed the existence of a produce called Entity Developer Express that appears to provide this facility. It's free too.
