The Resolution setting affects the dimensions of the shapes upon importing into another program:

For example, Adobe Illustrator uses 72, Inkscape uses 90, and Corel Draw uses 96. Unless you know
the intended program’s
DPI , leave it at 72.

If the project is designed with specific dimensions affecting the final result, such as an envelope for a
card, include a separate
Read Me text file noting the dimensions of the project in SCAL so that the
imported SVG can be resized accordingly.
•
The Selection Only setting was mentioned earlier as the option to mark when specific shapes have been
selected for export versus exporting all of the shapes in the file.


You want to print a PNC project from a printer without SCAL installed
•
If you choose any of the raster export formats, the same window will open offering options for:

Resolution: if the image will be printed, you usually choose 200 or 300

Background : choose a color or, with PNG export, you can also choose transparent

Show Registration Marks : option to print with the registration marks that will be used for a PNC
application

Selection only : when specific shapes have been selected for export versus exporting all of the shapes
in the file
