Just use some zip software so the file becomes a zip file.
You can also convert the file to: gif jpg png txt zip jpeg pdf and in your case txt is of cource not so good.
Do you know how you do a screen dump?

in windows <Prt Scrn> key captures image bitmap of your display, open Paint and paste: edit>paste or <ctrl-v>
then crop the image to just the drawing by using the select, cut, new drawing, paste sequence
large (full screen or larger) images are considered impolite, some people have lower res displays and dialup connections, compose your image to be readable but not wasteful of bandwidth
save as drawingname.gif
Don't use bmp (file too big) or jpeg (bad for line drawings, unreadable text)
use attach file feature in forum post reply window or link to your own online hosted image file ( photobucket.com has generous free image hosting limits; just copy the tag they create when you add your drawing to your photobucket album and put it in your post's text)
to add Lt SwCad circuit file to a post, I just make a copy and change .asc extension to .txt and attach

In the LTspice program use the menu command:
Tools=>Copy bitmap to Clipboard
This makes a .bmp (bitmap) copy of the current schematic to the clipboard.
Then use paint.
Or use a free graphic viewing program such as Xnview to crop and convert the bitmap to a gif.

png gives better compression than gif, and should be used instead usually (you may need to reduce to 256 or 16 colours first, since png support 24bit, unlike gif which is only 8bit).
