Exporting floor plan data to .png format

This option allows you to export a floor plan to a .png (portable network graphics) format. This format replaces

other formats with high compression. It utilizes less compression, so no image data is lost when saving or

viewing the image. It is a universal format that is supported by most web browsers. This format can be opened

with any picture editor that supports .png.

To export a floor plan to an image:

1. In plan view, select File - Export - To .png file.

2. On the File Download dialog box, click Open. The picture editor opens with the .png image.
