Golden Software Interchange .GSI Export Options Dialog

The Export Options dialog allows you to specify options which determine how information in the file is exported.

Transparency and Fill

All lines, fills, text, images, and vector objects with transparency are exported and imported with the transparency. Objects with bitmap fills are imported and exported with the fill and transparency. Objects with gradient fill are exported and imported with the gradient fill.

Attributes

All ID attributes for all polyline, polygon, and symbol objects are automatically exported to all .GSI files. For contour maps, the Z value is exported as the "ZLEVEL" attribute for all polylines in the contour map.

Select the GSI export options in the Export Options dialog.

Write Areas to Curves

Check Write areas as curves to cause all area (polygonal) objects to be exported as curve (polyline) objects.

Render Text

Check Render text to cause all text objects to be exported as areas and lines. When Render Text is unchecked, text is exported as text.

As long as there is no clipping, GSI text entities will be exported as text. This means that the GSI text entities will be sized and oriented similar to the text objects in the application document. When clipping occurs, the text is exported as solid polygons. Clipping occurs when part of the text object is partially inside and partially outside the map limits.

Render Marker Symbols

Check Render marker symbols to cause markers to be exported as areas and lines.

Defaults

The Defaults button sets all controls to default conditions.
