Save and name the vector image as a DXF file
The Save As Vector File dialog appears.
The DXF pre 14 option creates a very simple DXF file that has no known compatibility problems with any CAD or CNC program. The DXF R14 and later option creates a DXF file that can be read into programs that support AutoCAD R14/LT97 or later DXF files.
You must choose the DXF R14 and later option if:
You can set the DXF version that Scan2CAD defaults to in the DXF Export Settings dialog.
If you click Yes, the Vector Scale Settings dialog appears. Set the file’s scale and click OK. The DXF file is now ready to read into your CAD program.
Arrow lines are saved as blocks comprising four lines – three making up the arrow head and one making up the arrow tail. This makes them easy to delete and replace in your CAD program. Areas of hatch lines are saved as blocks. This makes them easy to delete and replace in your CAD program. Bezier curves are saved as splines, polylines or arcs, depending on what you have selected File Menu > Vector > DXF Export Options.
If the vectors you are saving originated from a PDF file, the colors will be mapped to the nearest color in the AutoCAD palette.
Save and name the vector image as an HPGL file
The Save As Vector File dialog appears.
If you click Yes, the Vector Scale Settings dialog appears. Set the file’s scale and click OK. The HPGL file is now saved.
Save and name the vector image as a PDF file

Save and name the vector image as a WMF file
The Save As Vector File dialog appears.
Scan2CAD saves WMF files using units called TWIPs (1/1440 inch). This allows, where available, the receiving program to scale the image to its original dimensions. In order to calculate TWIPs Scan2CAD requires a dpi value. If the vectors being saved do not have a dpi value associated with them the Dots per Inch dialog will appear. If the Dots per Inch dialog appears, type a suitable dpi value into the dialog and click OK. Typically this value will be the scanning resolution of the originating raster image.

Auto Save the vector image
0 turns Auto Save off. If you choose 10, 20 or 30 Scan2CAD automatically backs up the vector image every 10, 20 or 30 minutes. The image is saved under the file names Autobak1.Dxf and Autobak2.Dxf on a rotating basis.
