Configuring copy options
In the Copy Options dialog box, you can select a program or config-
ure the options yourself.
Preset For Choose a program name. This sets up the dialog box so
objects will be copied in the best format for pasting into the selected
program.
If the program you want to use is not listed, you can use the other
options to select the format for copying objects to the Clipboard.
Copy vector object(s) Uses the standard format to copy objects to
the clipboard in Mac OS (PICT) and Windows (WMF). In most
cases, this option is the same as using the standard Copy command.
PICT and WMF do not support transparency; transparent Canvas
objects are not rendered and will appear opaque when pasted into
other programs.
Copy as Image Copies objects to the Clipboard as rasterized
images. Select a resolution option, or select Other and enter the
desired resolution. This option preserves transparency effects among
Canvas objects. However, most programs do not support transpar-
ency, so Canvas objects pasted into other programs will not appear
transparent relative to objects in the other programs.
Anti-Alias Softens the edges of objects copied to the Clipboard
using anti-aliasing. Anti-Alias is available when you select Copy as
Image. Anti-aliasing slightly blurs objects to reduce the jagged
appearance of object edges.
Embed Canvas native data (Mac only) Embeds unique Canvas
data in objects. This ensures that objects keep their Canvas properties
if theyre pasted into another program and then pasted back into Can-
vas.
Embed EPS (Mac only) Copies objects to the Clipboard with Post-
Script information.
Color Mode: Select the color mode to be used in the Post-
Script information.
