1 S1000D V2.2 export is no longer supported.

2 The constant name $CGM_Profile.Current_AT always applies to the newest ATA GREXCHANGE profile that this release of Arbortext IsoDraw supports. When Arbortext IsoDraw supports a newer version, V2.10 will be assigned a different constant name; e.g., $CGM_Profile.ATA_GREXCHANGE_2_10.

* 
When setting the value of app.cgm.profile, it is best to use the constant name, which is fixed, rather than the number, which might change from one release to the next.
app.cgm.profile = $CGM_Profile.ATA_GREXCHANGE_2_9
app.cgm.useAECMAs1000d
Returns and sets the S1000d compliant as integer. Allowed values are 0 for “do not use” and 1 for “use”.
app.cgm.useAECMAs1000d = 1
app.cgm.encoding

app.cgm.vdcType = 2
app.cgm.compressionColor
Returns and sets the compression color type as integer. Allowed values are:
1
“none”
2
“Runlength”
3
“JPEG”
4
“PNG”
app.cgm.compressionColor = 3
app.cgm.compressionBW
Returns and sets the B/W compression type as integer. Allowed values are:
1
“none”
2
“runlength”
3
“CCITT Group3 (T4)”

app.cgm.jpegQuality
(Applies to Arbortext IsoDraw 7.0 F000 and later.)
Returns and sets the quality for embedded JPEG images as integer. Allowed values are 0 to 100.
0
Optimizes image quality.
1
Optimizes image compression.
2
Lowest quality; highest compression.
3…99
As the value increases, quality increases and compression decreases.
100
Highest quality; lowest compression.
• If a macro changes the value of app.cgm.jpegQuality, the change is saved as the new CGM export JPEG image quality preference setting.
• Recording a macro that changes this property adds an app.cgm.jpegQuality = value statement to the macro.
app.cgm.jpegQuality = 40
app.cgm.textType
Returns and sets the text type as integer. Allowed values are:
0
“none”
1
“RT basic”
2

4
“RT isotropic-cap”
5
“RT isotropic-all”
6
“RT justified”
app.cgm.textType = 6
app.cgm.exportType

app.cgm.version = 1
app.cgm.createXCF

• If a macro changes the value of app.cgm.createXCF, the change is saved as the new Generate XML companion files preference setting.
• The macro recorder will not record changes to this property.
app.cgm.createXCF = 1
