Export

The command Export on the File menu enables to export data in different formats (e.g. calculation results, reports with customized text, graphics or individual objects or object parameters). The exported data can, for example, be opened with other WINDOWS software tools for further processing.

After clicking the command File|Export, the dialog Save File As opens showing a list box with the available export formats (see table below). Upon export, the respective file extension will be added automatically. Clicking the „Save“ button starts the export procedure. Via the „Options“ button the export options depending on the selected file format are displayed, if any.

Restarting Export

Once all the export options have been specified, further export procedures using this export format can be started directly by clicking the export symbol on the toolbar.
