Quick Reference

To export a drawing to Impression

1. Click Output tab Export to Impression panel Export.
2. In the Export to Impression dialog box, under What to Export, click one of the following options:
   • Display. Exports the current view.
   • Extents. Exports all geometry in the current view, including geometry that is not currently displayed in the drawing area.
   • Window. Exports the portion of the drawing area that you specify by clicking two points.
   • Layouts. Exports all viewports and geometry displayed in the selected layout.
3. In the Plot Style Table list, do one of the following:
   • To base Impression stroke styles on color, lineweight, and linetype properties of a specific plot style table, select an STB or CTB file.
   • To base Impression stroke styles on the lineweight and linetype of each incoming layer, or on the selected stroke type, click None.
4. In the Stroke list, select the stroke to use for all exported geometry.

   To combine the lineweight and linetype of the plot style with the properties of the selected stroke, choose both a plot style and a stroke. If any other settings overlap, the plot style setting has priority.

5. Click OK.

   The drawing is opened in Autodesk Impression. You can save and print the drawing or continue to stylize the illustration.
