Export Options Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to control the format and metadata of an exported image.

When you export an image, you can create a resource file or a world file for the image. These correlation files store insertion point, scale, rotation, and density information for the image.

You can use the resource file option to share images with other people using AutoCAD Raster Design toolset, or to use the image in another drawing. You can use the world file option to create a world file (which is an ASCII file you can view using Notepad) for use in AutoCAD Raster Design toolset or other software programs.

Maintain Drawing Link To Image

Selected: The exported image replaces the original image in the drawing.

Cleared: Saves the exported image to disk and keep the original image in the drawing.

Image Rotation Handling

Burn Rotation Into Image

Saves the current image alignment and resets the rotation value to 0.

Include Rotation In Correlation

Saves the current image alignment as a rotation value.

Output Without Rotation

Saves no rotation value. This option is selected and unchangeable if the image is not rotated in the drawing.

Correlation

Select Correlation Output Type(s)

Specifies one or more types of correlation files to create. You can choose Resource File to create a resource file . You can also choose World File to save a world file . Both Resource files and World files are saved to the path you specify in the Options dialog box. If no correlation search path is designated, AutoCAD Raster Design toolset uses the folder where the image is stored.

In two cases, an option here is preset and unchangeable. If you are exporting a multispectral image, GeoTIFF is specified. If you are exporting a DEM in DEM format, DEM File is specified.
