Defining a region for export
DrawPlus lets you export a
specific region in your design.
The region, shown as a bounding
box, is actually a layer overlay
which can be resized, repositioned
over the export area and
shown/hidden. The Image Export
dialog is used for the actual export
process.
To define an export region:
1. From the Standard toolbar, click Overlays and select Export
Overlay from the drop-down menu. A bounding box is overlaid over
your page.
2. Drag a corner (or edge) handle to resize the box (use the Ctrl key as
you drag to resize the box about its centre); reposition the box over the
export area.
3. (Optional) Name the Export Overlay layer in the Export Name box on
the context toolbar (this labels the export overlay in the Layers tab and
provides the default file name at export).
4. Click Export... shown under the box. The Image Export dialog is
displayed, from which you can modify and choose an export file
format (described previously).
When the overlay is applied, the bounding box is automatically selected (it
shows the selection colour of the overlay layer). Clicking away from the box will
deselect it (showing the box Colour), but it can be reselected at any time (e.g., for
repositioning).
To select the box:
• From the Standard toolbar, select Overlays and then Export
Overlay.
