Dialog for setting up writing parameters to raster file

Scroll

This dialog appears on the screen if, when saving a KOMPAS document, one of the raster formats was chosen.

In the dialog, you can configure the settings for writing to the raster file.

Description


Chromaticity

This list is used to select the number of colors.

Since the size of a raster file is proportional to the number of colors, high chromaticity is recommended to use only for writing 3D models (or documents containing inserts depicting 3D models) – that will let correctly reproduce color renditions.

Having written a file, view it in an appropriate bitmap editor. If the color transitions do not look "smooth" enough, increase chromaticity and write the file again.


Display in grayscale

This option is used to write color tints in grayscale.

The amount of grayscale will be the more, the higher chromaticity is set. Therefore, the inclusion of this option is not equivalent to choosing black-and-white as a saving method in which shades of gray are created by "mixing" black and white pixels.


Color

A list from which you can select the color of the image. Advanced Options...


All lines are thin

To define line thickness for a bitmap file the line thickness settings from the Dialog for setting up system linesThe thickness in pixels is calculated so that when printed at the resolution specified in the Resolution, dots per inch, they have the thickness specified for printing. The result is rounded to integer value.

For example, thin lines with default settings (thickness on paper = 0,18 mm, resolution = 96 DPI) will have the thickness 1 pixel in bitmap file. The same lines with the 300 DPI resolution will have the thickness 2 pixels.

Option All lines are thin controls the line thickness: if it is enabled, then all lines in the raster file will have the thickness set for thin lines, and if it is disabled, the lines will have individual thicknesses.

Line thickness on paper is a line style option. For system styles, it is set in the system lines settings dialog, and for user styles when setting them.
The line style also contains the “thickness on screen” parameter. Its value does not affect the result of saving bitmap.


The state of the option All lines Are Thin does not affect the thickness of the lines of the font.


Scale

The field to set the image scale.


Resolution, dots per inch

The field in which you can enter or select the image resolution.


Since the size of a raster file is proportional to the resolution, high resolution is recommended to use only for writing documents that contain fine details and boundaries of substantial curvature – that will help reproduce them with minimum losses.

Having written a file, view it in an appropriate bitmap editor. If you are not satisfied with the image quality, increase the resolution and write the file again.


Document size, mm

Page image dimensions in mm.


Image size, pixels

Page image dimensions in points. This value depends on the specified scale and resolution.


Preview Window

The window is used to display the page selected for writing.

When you have finished setting up the parameters, click the Export button to start the recording. To cancel saving, press the Cancel button.

Writing to raster formats is subject to setting print filters. For example, the created drawing file will contain only those objects of the KOMPAS document for which printing was enabled.

If there is a message about the impossibility of recording...
