To export as an image:
1. Choose Export>Export as Image... from the File menu.
2. (Optional) From the Export Area section, you can scale the image to a
new size if desired (change pixels), or adjust the dpi (dots per inch)
setting. For graphics to be used on-screen, it's best to leave these values
intact. The export can be based on the whole Page, Selected Area (see
Defining a region for export below), or Selected Items.
3. From the Properties section, select the intended graphics file format
from the Format drop-down menu. The remaining box area will
display different options depending on your chosen graphics format.
Change settings as appropriate to the file format selected (see
DrawPlus Help for more information).
4. (Optional) From the Web Options section, you can control web
elements in your image.
• You can uncheck Image Slices or Hotspots if you've create these
elements but don't want them exported.
• Click the Estimate Download Time... button to see how long the
image will take to download using various connections.
5. Click Export. If you click Close, DrawPlus remembers your preferred
format and settings, particularly useful for adjusting the setting which
are used if you preview the image in a browser (using File>Preview in
Browser).
When exporting Stopframe animations, an Animation tab is shown
in the dialog for frame export control.
For converting DrawPlus objects into pictures on the page, use
Tools>Convert to Bitmap....
For export as AutoCAD drawings, use Export>Export for CAD/CAM
on the File menu.
