Creating RAS files

You can create RAS (Sun Raster) format bitmap files using a wide variety of options. Note that when exporting a bitmap, the current Xara LX Quality (see Changing the screen quality of documents) setting is used for the bitmap. For example if the Quality is set to a very low level the bitmap exported will be in outline only.

To create a RAS file

1. From the File menu, choose Export.

2. In the Export dialog box, choose RAS from the drop-down list.

3. Enter the filename and location and click Save. This will open the RAS Export dialog box.

4. Set the options in the dialog box and click Export. For more information on the options, click the Help button in the dialog box.

Tips

To export a bitmap the same size as it is on the screen (at 100% magnification) choose 96dpi in the RAS Export dialog box.

To export a small area of a document, select the objects in that area and choose Selection in the Area to Save section of the RAS Export dialog box.
