# Exporting Images

Various options are available for exporting image files in Dips.

Export Image File

The Export Image File option in the File menu allows you to save the current Plot or Chart view directly to one of the following image file formats:

- JPEG (*.jpg)

- Windows Bitmap (*.bmp)

- Windows Enhanced Metafile (*.emf)

- Windows Metafile (*.wmf)

- AutoCAD DXF (*.dxf) (note: dxf export only available on stereonet views, not chart views)

Copy to Clipboard

The current Plot or Chart view can also be copied to the Windows clipboard using the Copy or Copy to Metafile options in the Edit menu. From the clipboard, images can be pasted directly into word or image processing applications.

- The Copy option copies a bitmap file to the clipboard.

- The Copy to Metafile option copies a metafile to the clipboard. Metafiles can be pasted directly into AutoCAD.

On Chart views, the Copy and Copy to Metafile options are also available as right-click options.

Project Title

The Project Title that you entered in the Project Settings dialog can be displayed on stereonet or rosette plots with the Add Text option.
