Save Work and SVG Creation

To reduce time for the Save Work function to complete it is possible to choose when to create SVG files for the diagram. The basic concept of this functionality is described in the flowchart below.

You can change the Save Work behavior via the Diagrams Options > Create SVG on Save Work option:

Diagrams Options - Create SVG on Save Work

Create SVG on Save Work Set to Always

Each time that Save Work is executed SVG files are generated for every page of the diagram. Whether the diagram has elements released to 3D or not has no impact.

Create SVG on Save Work Set to For Data Released to 3D Only

Each time Save Work is executed SVG files are generated for each page of the diagram that contains data released to 3D. For every page that does not contain released to 3D data a ‘dummy’ SVG file is being created. The dummy file is just an empty file with some basic parameters so the diagram data is possible to load to the integrator without errors.

Create SVG on Save Work Set to Never

SVG files are never created when Save Work is executed. However, if the diagram contains released to 3D data a warning message is displayed in the message log.

Note:
In order to generate SVG files the option Keep session files must be set to True.
