XPAC lets you export spatial data plot images to the following formats:
| • | Adobe 3D PDF File (.pdf) |
| • | Portable Network Graphics File (.png) |
| • | Windows Bitmap File (.bmp) |
| • | Surpac String File (.str). |
To export a spatial data plot image:
| 2. | Select File > Print Preview to ensure that the plot displays as expected. |
| 3. | Click Close in the print preview window. |
| 4. | Select File > Export > Graphics Image > Image. The Exporting Image Windows Explorer window displays. |

| 7. | Type a name for the file. |
| 9. | Depending upon the file type, a settings dialog will be displayed to allow the output to be customised. See the sections below for details on the settings available for each of the file types. |
XPAC exports and saves the image to the specified folder.
