File formats for exporting artwork
AutoCAD Drawing and AutoCAD Interchange File (DWG and DXF)
AutoCAD Drawing is the standard file format for
saving vector graphics created in AutoCAD. AutoCAD Interchange File is a drawing interchange format for
exporting AutoCAD drawings to or importing drawings from other applications. For more information, see
“AutoCAD export options” on page 270.
Note: By default, white strokes or fills in Illustrator artwork are exported to the AutoCAD formats as black strokes or
fills; and black strokes or fills in Illustrator are exported to the AutoCAD format as white.
BMP
A standard Windows image format. You can specify a color model, resolution, and anti-alias setting for raster-
izing the artwork, as well as a format (Windows or OS/2) and a bit depth to determine the total number of colors (or
shades of gray) that the image can contain. For 4-bit and 8-bit images using Windows format, you can also specify
RLE compression.
Enhanced Metafile (EMF)
Widely used by Windows applications as an interchange format for exporting vector
graphics data. Illustrator may rasterize some vector data when exporting artwork to EMF format.
