6.13.5. Save, Save As, Save All
These menu items do the same as the “Save”-, “Save As” and “Save All”- buttons
(see chapter 6.5.1, 6.5.2, 6.5.3): They offer different saving options for figures.
6.13.6. Delete File
“Delete File” can be used for deleting the active figure. It is deleted from the hard
disc and thus also disappears from the Figure Table. On deleting a figure, the Figure
Table is reloaded.
6.13.7. Import ILDA
The “Import ILDA” menu item is used for importing ILDA files (*.ild) to Laserworld
Showeditor. 2D and 3D ILDA files can be imported as well as ILDA files with or without
color table or RGB data. On import, the ILDA files will be converted to the Showeditor
file format, so they become editable in Laserworld Showeditor.
Importing ILDA-files can cause issues in rare cases, as the “ILDA Standard” is not
always respected by every programmer – some *.ild files do not provide the
standardized protocol in full or come with additional information that is not meant to
be included. In such a case a message with further detail is displayed.
However, Utmost imports of ILDA files work very well.
Supported ILDA standard file format is any version up to version 5.
Information:
Depending on the program they have been created with, some ILDA files are
defective, as the storage byte order for the colors is red – green - blue instead of the
correct blue - green – red. If blue and read appear to be swapped, change the
color order in Options -> Others. This setting applies for the import as well as for the
export of ILDA files.
Many existing ILDA files use the Pangolin color table. If this is the case, load the
Pangolin color table first (Color-table) and then convert to Laserworld Showeditor
colors (Windows -> Special features - > Change color handling to Showeditor color
table values)
6.13.8. Save ILDA
Export a figure as ILDA-file (*.ild) using this menu item. This only works for figures you
have the permission to export. Export permissions can be set in Options -> Default
Rights Settings
