After you have configured the export settings click Export to export the diagrams. Figure 7.1 - Diagram exporter Field Description Output destination Export type Diagrams Preview Anti-aliasing Auto overwrite existing files The Output destination is the directory where all the exported images are saved to. You can enter the path in the text field directly, or you can click on the ... button to browse for the directory. To select the image format of the exported image click on the pull-down box beside the Export type field and select the format you want to use. The Diagrams pane shows the diagrams in the current project. Check the checkbox beside the diagram you want to export. The number of selected diagrams is displayed at the bottom of the Diagram pane. The Preview pane also allows you to preview the exported image of the selected diagram. The Preview pane shows the preview of the exported image of the selected diagram in the Diagrams pane. You can check/uncheck the Show preview checkbox to enable/disable the preview. You can select the size of the preview image by selecting from the pull-down box beside the Preview mode field. Selecting Stretch will show the image in scaled size that fits to the preview area, while selecting Real size will show the image in its actual size. Anti-aliasing is a method which handles the staircase pixels of slanted lines and curves to make them look smoother. You can apply anti-aliasing to the exported images. To apply anti-aliasing to graphics, check the Graphics Anti-aliasing checkbox in the Anti-aliasing pane. Likewise, you can check the Text checkbox in the Anti-aliasing pane to apply anti-aliasing to text. You can check the 'Auto overwrite existing files' checkbox to allow overwriting of files in the export process. Max. Size Maximum size of exported images. If the diagram size is larger than the max. size, it will be resized. Table 7.1 7-3

SDE-VS User’s Guide (Part 1) Chapter 7 – Export and Import Slice diagrams User can slice a large diagram into pieces(number of files), as well as restrict the size of the exported diagram. 7-4 Figure 7.2 - Slice diagrams There are three slicing strategies. They are Fixed Slice, Free Slicing and Fixed Ratio. Slicing strategies Fixed Slice Free Slicing Fixed Ratio Description Fixed Slice is a simple strategy which slices exported diagram into pieces of the same size. The user specifies the number of columns and rows to slice and then the exported diagram will be sliced into specific pieces. Users can customize how to slice the exported diagram by specifying the position of vertical slices and horizontal slices. It is particularly useful to prevent a shape from being sliced into pieces. Fixed Ratio gains the benefits of Fixed Slice and Free Slicing. The width and height of pieces are the same but for the last row and column. Users can also customize the width and height of sliced pieces. Like Free Slicing, Fixed Ratio is size oriented. User modifies the size of pieces and Diagram Slicer calculates the number of row and column to slice. Exporting Diagrams to PDF format Table 7.2 You can export SDE-VS diagram to native PDF format. Since the exported PDF is of a small size, it can save a lot of space. Also, because the diagram in PDF is a vector, it is scalable. There are two different options when you export: • PDF(diagram per page) All the diagrams selected will be exported in the same PDF file. Each diagram will occupy one page. • PDF(diagram per file) Each diagram selected will be exported in one new PDF file.
