Export models
You can export a model as an image. This can be useful if you want to share a model with someone who does not have NVivo or want to include a model in a report.
What do you want to do?
What file types can I export to?
Models can be exported to the following file formats:
-
Bitmap (.bmp)
-
Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)
NOTE SVG images can be viewed in web browsers including Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer (requires the Adobe SVG Viewer plug-in). SVG images can also be opened by some vector image editors including Microsoft Visio.
Export a model
-
Click on the model in Detail View or List View.
-
On the External Data tab, in the Export group, click Items.
The Save As dialog box opens.
-
The exported file is saved to your default location for exported files, you can choose a different location if necessary.
-
In the File name box, review the name that NVivo proposes for the exported file, and change it if necessary.
-
In the Save as type box, choose the file format for the exported file.
-
Click Save.
NOTE When you export a model containing NVivo icons to SVG, the icons are exported separately from the model image; an SVG file is created and an associated folder of icons. If you want to copy the exported SVG image, you must copy both the SVG file and the associated folder.
