Metafile Export (Windows Only)

You can use Save As to save your sketch as a graphics file that can be used by many other Windows programs. The exported graphics include all objects that appear within the window. Use the edges of the window to crop the image that will be exported.

After you choose Save As, use the Save As Type menu to choose Enhanced Metafile (*.emf) or Windows Metafile (*.wmf). Then click the Save button.

Both WMF and EMF are common graphics formats for Windows. Newer applications are more likely to take advantage of the features of enhanced metafiles.

If you want to export some but not all of the visible objects, use the Copy command.
