example File Export Information


Save Files

  • Save: Select Save in File menu.
  • Save in: This box displays the present location. Press the down arrow to go back in the hierarchy or change to a different drive.
The box below displays the folders and files in the present location. To open a folder (and change to this folder) double clicks on it.
  • File Name: Enter the file name here. You do not have to enter an extension. The default extension is appended automatically. The default extension depends on the file you want to save. It is *.ocd for an OCAD map file.
hint If you do not enter an extension, you must not enter the period. If you enter a period, no extension will be appended.
  • Save as type: When the dialog box is opened, you need to choose the file type to be saved as. For map files for example, this is Map files (*.ocd). This means that all files with the extension OCD are listed in the Files list box.
You can choose All files (*.*) to list all files in the selected directory.
  • Save as: Select Save as in File menu.
Choose this command to save the current map under a new name. The Save As file dialog box is displayed.
You can use this command to save the map in a previous OCAD version (6, 7, 8 or 9). In the box Save as type you can choose the format.
hint -All changes made since the old map was saved the last time are not written to the old map. They are written to the new map only. However, if Auto Save is switched on, the changes are saved to both files. Choose OCAD Preferences from the Options menu to switch Auto Save on and off.
-Do not use this command to make a backup copy of your map. Choose Backup from the File menu for this purpose.

Setup Part of Map

This dialog box appears if you click Setup in some of the Export dialog boxes.

In this dialog box you can define the part of the map to be exported.
