The tables that follow list new parameters that you can use when exporting EngView files to various file formats.

For 3D as image

Parameter Arguments Notes
Shot Name snapshot name
ZoomFit yes/no
Alpha [0,1] Sets background transparency.
W width
H height
KeepAspect [0,1] 0 keeps the aspect ratio; 1 does not.

For 3D as PDF

Parameter Arguments
sc [scene] [#initial, #final, #transport, #production, #usage, #current]
PhaseFrom $sc
phaseTo $sc
phaseInit $sc
ShowPreview [yes, no]
Stillscene $sc
ExportMl [yes, no]

For 2D as image

Parameter Arguments Notes
ExportMl [0,1] For measure lines
ZoomFit [0,1]
MarginL
MarginR
MarginT
MarginB
N [L, R, T and B stand for, respectively, left, right, top and bottom; N stands for gap values in points (1 point = 0.35 mm)]
Transparent [0,1] For background transparency
W [width]
H [height]
KeepAspect [0,1] Controls the aspect ratio: 0 does not keep it; 1 does.
DrawDecomposed [yes, no]
DrawStyleSymbols [yes, no]

For 2D as vector (CF2, DDES)

Parameter Arguments Notes
ExportMl [0,1] For measure lines
DecomposePerfo [yes, no]
DecomposeComposites [yes, no]
CutCreaseProcessing BreakAll

BreakCutsOnly

WholeObject
Both the Crease and the Cut components are decomposed to small objects as defined in the style.
The Crease component is exported as one object. The Cut components are exported as a series of small objects as defined in the style.
(Used in diemaking) Objects are exported as single objects.

2D as vector (PDF)

Parameter Arguments Notes
ExportMl [0,1] 0 does not export measurement lines; 1 does.
MarginL
MarginR
MarginT
MarginB
N [L, R, T and B stand for, respectively, left, right, top and bottom; N stands for gap values in points (1 point = 0.35 mm)]
MarginUnit [mm, inch, pt, etc...] the units in which Margins are expressed. So, if you want 10pt margins, say MarginUnit=pt, MarginL=10
DecomposePerfo  [yes,no]
DecomposeComposites  [yes,no]
CutCreaseProcessing BreakAll

BreakCutsOnly

WholeObject
Both the Crease and the Cut components are decomposed to small objects as defined in the style.
The Crease component is exported as one object. The Cut components are exported as a series of small objects as defined in the style.
(Used in diemaking) Objects are exported as single objects.
ScaleWidthsInParts [yes,no] Exported objects are scaled to fit the available area.
Exported objects are not scaled to fit the available area.
ColorPolicy (pdf/eps/ai) None No colors are expored.
CMYK Colors are exported in the CMYK color space.
RGB Colors are exported in the RGB color space.
CMYKWithSpecial Colors are exported in the CMYK color space, but spot colors are used for ALL and None special colors — for example, print marks.
RGBWithSpecial Colors are exported in the RGB color space, but spot colors are used for ALL and None special colors — for example, print marks.
Mono Everything is exported in one spot color (as specified by SpotColorNaming), except print marks, which are exported with ALL colors.
SingleTable Everything is exported in one spot color (as specified by SpotColorNaming), but a color table is associated to it. So things look colorful, except print marks, which are exported with ALL colors.
Multi Dedicated spot color is used for every style, optionaly prefixed with SpotColorNaming, except print marks, which are exported with ALL colors.
MultiTable Same as Multi, but if an object has a color override, it is considered in a color table associated with the spot color.
SpotColorNaming (pdf/eps/ai) string Base name to use for color naming. (see ColorPolicy for specifics of the interpretation. Sometimes prefix, sometimes, the name itself)
WriteTrimBox [yes, no] Write TrimBox page property in the PDF. Calculated by the cut lines of the design
  TrimBoxBy3D [yes, no] if 3D is present for a oneup, use its contour bound-box for TrimBox
WriteCropBox [yes, no] Write CropBox page property in the PDF. Calculated by the sheet, if present, else ignored.
WriteArtBox [yes, no] Write ArtBox page property in the PDF. Calculated by the artwork contents of the exported Article.
WriteBleedBox [yes, no] Write BleedBox page property in the PDF. Calculated by the Bleed object (in Prinect), or by the objects with Bleed style.
MediaBox [ByDesign, BySheet, TrimBox] specifies based on what the MediaBox (the page size) is calculated. Margins are appended on top of this.
AddArtworkToMedia [yes, no] if MediaBox=TrimBox, appends the ArtBox to the MediaBox
AddBleedToMedia [yes, no] if MediaBox=TrimBox, appends the BleedBoxBox to the MediaBox
SkipImages [yes, no] if set to 'yes', the raster content will not be exported. This includes bar-codes
SkipIHatches [yes, no] if set to 'yes', the hatches will not be exported
SkipFills [yes, no] if set to 'yes', the fill objects will not be exoported
ExportStucturalOnly [yes, no] if set to 'yes', only structure layers will be exported. Note: not actually functioning as of version 9.3

Applying Scaling of Measurement Lines

 

Parameter Arguments Notes
MLForceScaling  true The value set for MLScaling applies to all drawings.
MLForceScaling  false The value set for MLScaling applies to drawings in which no dimensions scaling is set.

Export Settings of Measurement Lines

Applies to the file formats CF2, DDES, EPS, PDF, and AI.  

Parameter Arguments Notes
MLNumbersOnly true Measurements are exported as numbers.
MLNumbersOnly false Measurements are exported in their default format.

Export Settings of Style Symbols

Parameter Arguments Notes
ExportStyleSymbols  true Style symbols are exported.
ExportStyleSymbols  false Style symbols are not exported.

Exporting Styles to Linetypes

The properties refer to the export filters used for the style-to-linetype associations set for the respective file formats. (You set these associations in Tools | Options | CF2/DDES (Export).) The properties that follow cite the filter names that are used for the respective style-to-linetype association.

Parameter Arguments Notes
CF2Filters  Filter Name The filter to be applied to the export to CF2.
DDES2Filters  Filter Name The filter to be applied to the export to DDES.
DDES3Filters  Filter Name The filter to be applied to the export to DDES3.

Style Property Substitution in Exporting to EPS/PDF/AI

The properties refer to the export template used for style substitution. (You set these associations in Tools | Options | EPS/PDF/AI.)

Parameter Arguments Notes
EPSPDFFilters  TemplatePath Defines which export template will be applied for the export to EPS, PDF, or AI. The property is fully qualified path like C:\EngViewWork5\Settings\TEMPLATES\color_printing.evt. To suppress a filter substitution, set the property blank — &EPSPDFFilters=&. If the property is missing, the export will use the default setting.
EPSTemplatePrintsOnly  true The export template will be applied only to print drawings. Regular drawings will be exported in the default colours.
EPSTemplatePrintsOnly true The export template will be applied to all drawings, including print drawings.
