This menu item displays a file selection dialog where a file name for exported objects can be entered. If the Filter Layers/Groups for Print/Export dialog (Filter Layers/Groups for Print/Export) has an active scope, every visible object on an included Layer is exported regardless of selection; otherwise the current selection (Select) is exported if there is one, or every visible object if nothing is selected. The export file will have an svg extension.

Files in SVG format can be used for different purposes.

SVG files can be loaded into many drawing programs. This makes it possible to enhance and resize the image. Vector images have the advantage of allowing lossless resizing.
Most modern browsers support SVG as an image format. So the resulting file can directly be used to publish your plan on the web. By adding a bit of Javascript, zooming and panning can be enabled. Appropiate scripts can easily be found using your favorite search engine. The generated SVG uses the layout description as a title that is shown by some browser. Also the drawing has an 'id' for manipulation by Javascript. This id is derived from the filename by removing all spaces and sticking the word 'id' in front. Eg exporting stonega.xtc the resulting id will be idstonega.
