This preference affects the output of allgraphical formats, including but not necessarilylimited to: wmf, pict, eps, tiff, gif, bmp, and png. Itapplies to both the clipboard and saved files.The default value is 2 points (0.278 in; 0.071 cm).The value can be zero, meaning that the exportedimage is exactly snug against the objects in thegraphic. However, this is not recommendedbecause a bug in Windows causes clipping at theedges of metafiles when they are reduced in size.The default value should prevent clipping withreductions to about 20% of original size.File FormatsChemDraw supports both import and export(except as noted below) of the following fileformats.
