How to Export Graphics using Database Management
The articles in this section of the Knowledge Base involve importing and exporting from the Database Management window. For general information regarding the Database Management tool, or how to access it, see Database Management Utilities (Overview).
This simplified article provides a brief tutorial for exporting Graphics using the Database Management Utility.
Select the Graphics tab > select the Graphic(s) to be exported > select the arrow to transfer the Graphic(s) to be exported from the middle pane to the far right-side pane > accept the file to be exported to or browse for a different location.
Additional Options
When exporting Graphics, the following Additional Options are available:
- Zip Exported Items – Check this box to create a compressed zip file named the same as the folder selected for the export files. The zip file contains the same files as the subfolders created in the folder designated for the export files and is located at the same level as the folder selected.
Once everything has been selected for export, and any desired additional options included, select Transfer.
Resolving Duplicates
When exporting Graphics, duplicate images are automatically skipped in transfer. There is no Resolve Duplicate Names window.
Folder Structure
The objects in the Graphics category are not stored in the database but are individual folders and files stored on the computer hard drive. Although they are not database objects, they are included in the database management utilities to facilitate data transfer between computers or Microvellum configurations.
A MicrovellumFactory.sdf database file is created. A Graphics subfolder is also created containing all of the AutoCAD drawing files that were exported.
