Export SVG Image

What it Does​

Saves what you see in the workspace as an SVG picture file named AcademyFigure.svg. An SVG is a picture made of lines and curves, so you can make it bigger or smaller and it stays sharp. You can place it in a document, a web page or a drawing program. It is part of the written drafting instructions system.

Use this when the numbers and highlights for one illustration are finished.

The picture is cropped to the drawing, with a small margin around it. Hidden layers are left out.

How to Use​

  1. Show the layers you want in the picture and hide the ones you do not
  2. Activate the tool by selecting the Export SVG Image icon
  3. Your browser saves the file to your computer. Depending on your browser settings, it may ask where to save it
info

There is nothing to confirm. The file is saved as soon as you select the icon. If the workspace is empty, or the file can't be made, a message tells you and no file is created.
