Text Export Options

Click Tools > Options > TXT to set the text export options.

This controls the order in which text exported using Save As from the File menu appears.

Choose an order for the text in the text file:

0. Database order (no sort)

1. Up-Down, Left-Right

2. Left-Right, Up-Down

3. Layer #, Up-Down

4. Layer #, Left-Right

5. Color #, Up-Down

6. Color #, Left-Right

The Up-Down order can be reversed so we get Down-Up order. There is also a reverse order for Left-Right.

Tip:

Text sorting is not very fast If you export a lot of text use the database order - that is a lot faster as there is no sorting.

Macro equivalent: TEXPORTM

This command allows you to export text directly into a file. This takes a sort number equal to the number listed on the dialog box. To reverse the Up-Down order add 10 to that number and to reverse the Left-Right order add 100.
