The default format for the Save option is WIRE, which is the normal AliasStudiobinary file format. The Wire Options section is displayed by default. The compressed proprietary file format used by Autodesk AliasStudio products. Programmers can access wire file via the AliasStudio OpenModel library. From within AliasStudio you may open an older wire version. By renaming older wire file you will keep the older file format version and begin working in the latest version of AliasStudio. Supported entities include surfaces, curves, and poly(gon) sets.
If toggled ON, all file textures used in a scene are embedded into the wire file. This improves your ability to move files around without losing textures required to render the scene.
Extract embedded textures using
File > File References > Extract file references
.
If toggled ON, the wire file is optimized for viewing in the StudioViewer™ application.
As well, a large icon file (with extension .ICON) is created automatically for viewing in PortfolioWall™.
