IntelliDraw 2.0 for Windows Import and Export Filters Notes
--------------------
IntelliDraw 2.0 for Windows includes many import and export file 
formats. Some of these formats are always available. Others may be 
added by adding the appropriate filters to the 
ALDUS\USENGLISH\FILTERS directory. IntelliDraw 2.0 ships 
with many filters already included. In the future, as more filters 
become available, you may place filters into this directory to 
improve your import and export capabilities. In addition, if you 
have no use for importing or exporting a specific file format, you 
may remove the corresponding filter.

Note: Although IntelliDraw 2.0 provides the capability to export files 
to both text and binary DXF file formats, IntelliDraw only imports DXF 
text format files.

Note: IntelliDraw provides the capability to import Micrografx Designer 
.drw files. Although Micrografx Draw files have the same .drw extension, 
the file format is different and not supported. To import Micrografx 
Draw files, save these files in a file format listed above.

TWAIN Import
--------------------
The TWAIN Import capability allows you to import TIFF files 
without leaving IntelliDraw to create the scanned image.

1.  Make sure your image-acquisition device is ready to create an 
image.

2.  Choose "Import..." from the File menu.

3.  In the "Import" dialog box, locate the data-source file 
for your image source, and click "OK."

The data-source file lets you operate your device from within 
IntelliDraw. The data-source file has a DS extension. You may find 
the file in the TWAIN subdirectory of the Windows directory or in 
a subdirectory of that directory.

For more information, see you device documentation.

4.  Specify a name, location, and other available options for the 
image, and then click "OK."

5.  In the dialog box that opens, specify options according to your 
device documentation. The click the button that creates the TIFF 
image.

The name of the button carries with the device; in most cases it is 
an "OK," "Scan," or "Acquire" button.

If your device requires physical operation (a hand scanner, for 
example) it is ready for you to begin creating the image at this 
point. Otherwise, the image software acquires the image and saves 
it to your had drive. IntelliDraw then imports this TIFF image and 
places it into the active document window.
