KOMPAS-3D v23

To write a document to bitmap, EMF or PDF format, follow these steps.

1.Run the Save As... command.

2.In the dialog that appears, set the file type and name. To save the document, press the Save button.

The writing settings can be configured in a special dialog.

While writing a document into the bitmap format, a dialog for configuration of write parameters automatically appears on the screen after pressing the Save button in the file selection dialog. While writing a document into the PDF format, the dialog is invoked by pressing the Parameters button in the file selection dialog.

Sets of controls in setup dialogs differ depending on the type of the document to be saved. Perform the required settings in the dialog and click the Export or OK button.

If, while writing to the bitmap format, the file is not created, a message stating the cause is issued. Details...

Notes on writing to bitmap and PDF formats

Note the following when writing to bitmap and PDF formats.

•Saving to the bitmap and PDF formats follows the print-out filter settings, i.e. the resulting bitmap image will contain only those objects of the original document whose printing is enabled.

•While exporting a document to PDF format, values of the properties Designation, Name, Material, Mass, and Author are transferred.

•While exporting a model into the PDF format, solids and surfaces are transferred.

•If a document contains texts made in vector fonts, then in the resulting pdf document:

•These texts are not displayed if the export is performed on a computer running Windows 7;

•Vector fonts are replaced with TrueType fonts if the export is performed on a computer running Windows 10 or later.

Notes on writing to EMF format

EMF format Supports both vector and bitmap graphics.

The bitmap image in the EMF format files is formed as a result of export from KOMPAS-3D the following documents and objects:

•assemblies (*.a3d),

•parts (*.m3d),

•color fills, bitmap insertions and OLE objects in graphic documents.

In other cases, a vector image is formed in the EMF format files.
