Creating BMP files

BMP (Windows bitmap) format files can be used by many programs on the PC. Note that when exporting a bitmap, the current Xara LX Quality (see Changing the screen quality of documents) setting is used. For example with Quality set to a low value, the bitmap is exported as an outline.

To create a BMP file

1. From the File menu, choose Export.

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

3. Enter the filename and location then click Save. This opens the BMP Export dialog box.

4. Set the options in the dialog box and click Export. For more information on these 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 BMP Export dialog box.

If you want 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 BMP Export dialog box.
