Exporting bitmap areas, bitmaps and scanned images

Bitmap areas and scanned images are always transferred as complex elements; they cannot be exploded. Bitmap areas and scanned images transferred as complex elements are created as a .bmp file and must be transferred together with the .dxf/.dwg/.dgn file. When you re-import the .bmp files into Allplan, these files are imported as bitmap areas. Bitmaps inserted as bitmap links are not exported.

Note: Bitmap files can only be exported to .dgn when they are exploded, which means that you cannot export scanned images.

The following properties of bitmap files are transferred:

• The size and angle of rotation
• Information on transparency
• The bitmap file itself

The following properties are not taken into account:

• The color of transparency and tolerance
• The shearing angle
• Colors of bitmaps cannot be assigned. The original colors are always used.
