There are the following controls in the lower part of the dialog:

Controls in the Dialog "Export" - Type: PDF, DXF

Export dimen­sions

This is where you can choose whether or not to export dimensions as well along with the drawing.

Numeric values only

With this option enabled, only the values of the dimension lines without characters will be exported.

Color Conver­sion

Defines the color scheme to use when converting the colors of the file during exporting.

NOTE: There are the following color conversion options for PDF: CMYK, RGB, Sin­gle spot color, Single spot color rich view, Multiple spot colors, and Multiple spot colors rich view.

"Single spot color rich view" lets you export styles containing non-standard colors. For example: you can assign the "Cutting" style a non-standard style (red). After exporting, the PDF files contain the new assigned style that is also recognized by machines.

NOTES ON NAMES FOR EXPORTED SPOT COLORS: Type the name of the exported spot color in the box if spot colors were enabled for exporting.

Drawings

Defines whether to export only the current drawing or the entire project.

Delete dupli­cated

Deletes all overlapping objects in the original EVD file.

IMPORTANT: All the layout 1ups (elements) are converted to individual objects if this option is enabled. In the export file 1.) no layer groups are created for the lay­out 1ups (elements), and 2.) overlapping objects are converted to single objects.
NOTE: This file conversion function is particularly helpful if you want to export data for specific programs.

Decompose composites

When the drawing is exported, objects in composite styles are decomposed into individual elements. These elements are given the properties of the style defined for the original composite format in the "Structure" tab.

IMPORTANT: Without this option being enabled, the line width of the objects after exporting is the one defined in the "Production" tab of the original composite style; color and pattern match the settings of the "Visual" tab.

Decompose per­foratings

When the drawing is exported, objects in the "CutCrease" and "Perforating" styles will be decomposed into individual objects according to the criteria chosen.

 

Whole object

All the objects remain in the state they had before the export.

 

Break cut only

For objects in the "CutCrease" style only:
The cutting elements are decomposed into line segments. The creasing elements remain as they were before exporting.

Objects in the "Perforating" style:
The objects are decomposed into as many line segments as were present in the objects before exporting.

 

Break all

All the objects are decomposed into separate line segments.
