Windows Metafile Import Options Dialog

The Enhanced Metafile Options dialog allows you to specify options which determine how information in the file is imported. A Windows Metafile .WMF and Enhanced Windows Metafile .EMF are collections of objects combined together to produce an image.

Specify the import options in the Enhanced Metafile Options dialog.

Break Apart Metafile

Check the Break apart metafile option to separate the objects into individual entities. Do not select this option if you want the objects to remain a single collection.

Import-Filter Messages

The following messages may appear while attempting to import .WMF, .EMF or .CLP files.

ClosedClipboard file contains no picture in metafile form!

The clipboard file may contain information in a variety of forms (text, bitmap, metafile). This Graphical Import Filter component can only import pictures stored in Windows metafile format. The clipboard file you selected contains no picture in metafile format. You may still be able to get the information into the Golden Software application by launching the Windows Clipboard Viewer utility (CLIPBRD.EXE), opening the .CLP file, switching back to the Golden Software application and then selecting Home | Clipboard | Paste | Paste Special.

ClosedNo Destination Bitmap for Bit Pattern

Attempt to create a bit pattern on a bitmap while the latter doesn't exist. Make sure the file has been created correctly.
