Exporting Files from Composer
4
Enter a file name for the exported file. If you are exporting with the Selection or Vinyl
option, it is good idea to change the file name from the current file name so that you
don’t overwrite the open file.
5
Choose the folder in Save in.
6
Choose the file format from Save as type.
7
If you are saving the file as a PLT file, you can type comments in the Description text
box. The comments will appear in the Import or Open dialog box in the future.
8
Click Export.
9
If you are exporting only an embedded image the Export Original Image dialog box
displays. See “Exporting an Embedded Image” for details.
Maintaining the appearance of text when exporting
If you turn on the Convert text to curves check box, all text in the PLT file is exported as shapes
and the appearance of the job is maintained. If text is not converted to curves, effects such as
outline, shadow, distortion, and text strokes are lost. Color is retained only for plain text and
Gerber Small text; all other forms of text are black.
Setting export options
Some file types have export options available via the Options button. Click Options to display
the appropriate option dialog box for the file type you have chosen. If you do not click Options,
none of the dialog boxes will appear and files are exported using the format’s default settings.
Note: When importing an Adobe Illustrator (AI) file or an Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) file
using the GSP 2.1 as Vectors filter, OMEGA will automatically suggest using the GSP 2.5 as
Vectors filter if the GSP 2.1 filter fails.
