Exporting Files from Composer
Exporting to a DXF (GSP) AutoCAD Drawing
Interchange File
The (GSP) AutoCAD Drawing Interchange filter creates a 16-bit GRAPHIX ADVANTAGE
compatible DXF file. Strokes and boxes may replace polylines when the DXF file is opened in
AutoCAD. In the Export dialog box, click the Options button to open the Export Options dialog
box.
Choose from the following available options to modify export settings:
Units
Choose Inches or Millimeters as the measurement type in which to export the file.
Bezier Curve Conversion
♦ Line Segments (chords) yields the roughest curves and the smallest file size
♦ Minimum Arcs produces curves that are slightly smoother (but usually acceptable)
and medium file size
♦ Maximum Arcs produces the smoothest curves, but the largest file size
Note: Currently, OMEGA exports all curves as a series of overlapping arcs no matter which
setting is chosen. Due to this export problem, files exported through the (GSP) AutoCAD
Drawing Interchange filter should not be sent to a plotter or router.
Include Layer Information
Turn on this option to maintain layers when exporting.
