	Do you have any plans for allowing the diagrams to be exported to any standard graphic formats like .bmp, .jpg, or .gif? Also, allowing them to be exported to .dxf format would be really great, too.

	Now you can create an image file by calling the flowchart's CreateBmpFromChart method, which returns an instance of the .NET Bitmap class. Call the Bitmap.Save method to save it in a .bmp, .gif or .jpeg format. Exporting to .dxf is a nice idea, thanks. We'll try to implement that in the following 1-2 months. Btw Flowchart.NET 4 provides export to SVG, you can try the beta version here: https://mindfusion.org/_beta/FCNetDemo.zip

	Thanks a lot for the fast reply. One last thing, though. Currently, I'm exporting the diagrams to .pdf by using a free downloadable program to act as a printer and "printing" to a .pdf file. If there were another way that preserved the diagram's quality better, I would be very appreciative.

	A developer here played with PDF export several months ago and he made a somewhat working exporter class then. Each page of the exported PDF contains a bitmap representing a portion of the Flowchart.NET diagram. If you think that will be better than the "printing" solution, we can send you the source of that class. It relies on an open source PDF creation library to manage PDF files.

	This is the first version of the FC.NET to DXF exporter: https://mindfusion.org/_temp/dxfexp.zip In case anyone is interested in it, please try it out. We'll test it some more and release it with next version of the control.

	Hi, for dealing with JPG format, I suggest the following source code: Bitmap bmp = fc.CreateImage(); bmp.Save("c:\\img.jpg",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); fc is an instance of FlowChart class.
