You can specify an export path to any folder to which you want to export graphic slices. You can specify a different export path for each graphic slice and still export them all simultaneously.

By default, Dorico Pro exports graphic slices into the same folder as your project file. If you have not saved your project yet, graphic slices are saved in your Dorico Projects folder.

Prerequisite

  • The left zone is shown.

  • Graphic Slices Graphic Slices button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

  1. In the Graphic Slices panel, select the graphic slices whose export path you want to change.
  2. Click Choose Folder beside the Destination folder field to open the File Explorer/macOS Finder.
  3. Locate and select the destination folder you want.
  4. Click Select Folder (Windows)/Open (macOS) to insert the new path in the Destination folder field.
  5. Optional: Repeat steps 1 to 4 for other graphic slices whose export path you want to change.

Result

The export path for the selected graphic slices is changed. When exported, graphic slices use the name in the graphic slices table in the Graphic Slices panel for their file name.

Note

If the export path specified is no longer accessible, such as if you receive a project from someone who uses a different operating system, Dorico Pro automatically updates the export path to the same location as the project file.

After Completing This Task

You can export graphic slices, including graphic slices with different image settings and export paths simultaneously.
