Exporting Drawing Images

There are two ways to get an image of a drawing page. File > Export > Drawing Image renders the previewed page as a high-resolution PNG with your markups on it, and the Thumbnails panel exports a page as a plain PNG or JPEG. Both work on one page at a time.

Export a single page as an image from the Thumbnails panel context menu.

Export a marked-up page as PNG

  1. 1

    Open the export dialog

    Choose File > Export > Drawing Image with the drawing open.

  2. 2

    Pick the page

    Use the preview pager to land on the page you want. Image export always covers the previewed page, so the page range stays on Current Page.

  3. 3

    Choose what to include

    Document & Markup, Document Only, or Markups Only, plus the same paper size, rotation, and dimming options as PDF export.

  4. 4

    Download PNG

    The page is rendered through the PDF export path and then rasterized, so the image matches the PDF export exactly.

Export a plain page image

The Thumbnails panel has a second, simpler route: right-click a page and choose Export as PNG or Export as JPEG. That gives you the page as it sits in the document and is the quicker option for a fast site message.

Use PDF for records

Image export covers one page per file. For a formal or multi-page record, use Drawing PDF export instead: it carries every page you scope in, stays vector where the source is vector, and is the format to attach to a quote or an RFI.
