Saving Files in Multiple Formats

Canvas X Draw lets you save your file in multiple formats with a single click. Instead of having to save your file numerous times in the different formats you need, you can simply set the Multiple Save options and save all your selected formats at once.

To Save a Document in Multiple Formats:

  1. Choose File | Save As.
  2. In the Save As dialog box, select the Multiple Save checkbox.
  3. Click the Options button to select the formats you want to save.

Raster Formats / Non-raster Formats

Select the formats you want to save the file in.

Display Options dialog

Select this checkbox to display the Render Image or PDF Options dialog boxes so that you can select the settings for each format.

Save companion files in subfolder

Select this checkbox to save the files in a subfolder. The Canvas X image is saved in the folder you specify in the Save As dialog box, and the other files are saved in a subfolder with the same name as the Canvas X image.

For example, if your Canvas X image is named New_1.cvx, the subfolder containing the other files will also be named New_1.

If you do not select this checkbox, files are saved in the same folder as the Canvas X document.

Reset

Click this button to reset the Multiple Save options to the factory defaults.

Once you have saved a document in multiple formats, next time you save the document, it will be saved in all the formats you selected by default. If you want to choose different formats, click File | Save As, and click the Options button to change the multiple format options.

The Multiple Save checkbox is only available if you have selected CVX - Canvas X as the document type in the Save As dialog box.

If you use the same Multiple Save options regularly, you might want to create a Canvas Template TPL file to save your settings. When you create a new document using the template file, your Multiple Save options are applied to the file.
