ENHANCED in SymmetryMill 2.1
To export a pattern from SymmetryMill, click the
Export Pattern button
in the SymmetryMill toolbar. This opens the
Export dialog. Click the
Export button to save the pattern on your screen
or click the
Export Snapshots button to save snapshots in the current
snapshot set.
Use the Format pop-up menu to choose the PNG or JPG file format.
For multiple snapshots, images are automatically saved in sequentially numbered files.
The
Component pop-up menu lets you choose to export your patterns as:
- Tile, a rectangular image that creates a seamless pattern when repeated vertically and horizontally; for instance, on a web page or fabric
- Pattern, several tiles or a fractional tile
- Repeated Unit, the smallest repeated unit ("unit cell") to import into
SymmetryWorks or
SymmetryShop
For the Pattern component, you can additionally specify the size of exported images in pixels or in number of tiles.
Unless you specify the target image size in pixels, exported image sizes can be different for different snapshots.
