Exporting drawings
You can save or export IntelliCAD drawings in a number of different formats for use with other programs. When you save a drawing in a different format, the program saves all the entities in the drawing to the new file. When you export a drawing, you choose which entities are included in the new file.
You can export a drawing in any of the following formats:
- As an AutoCAD Drawing file (*.dwg). You choose the specific AutoCAD version (R14, R13, R11/12, R10, R9, R2.6, or R2.5).
- As an ASCII AutoCAD Drawing Interchange file (*.dxf). You choose the specific AutoCAD version (R14, R13, R11/12, R10, R9, R2.6, or R2.5).
- As a binary AutoCAD Drawing Interchange file (*.dxf). You choose the specific AutoCAD version (R14, R13, R11/12, R10, R9, R2.6, or R2.5).
- As an Enhanced Windows Metafile (*.emf).
- As a Windows Metafile (*.wmf).
- As a Bitmap file (*.bmp).
