There are several ways you can export objects from the CWC. This will allow other users with a lesser version to utilize the objects in their Punch! Software. Below you will see the examples available to you for exporting objects along with some important notes about custom textures.
 

 

 

Exporting in 7.0 will allow users with Punch! Software versions 7.0 or higher to utilize that object in the design plans. All custom textures will be lost.
 

 

 

 

Exporting in 8.0 will allow users with software version 8.0 or higher to utilize that object in the design plans. All custom textures will be retained if available in the program.
 

 

 

 

Exporting in 12.0 will allow users with software version 12.0 or higher to utilize that object in the design plans. All custom textures will be retained if available in the program.
 

 

 

If you would like to share your custom textures with the users in the community via the Down/Upload Galleries, so they too can get the full effect of the objects design, you must include them in your zip file. It is recommended that you include a text file explaining the location of the custom textures. Why? It is important that custom textures be placed in the exact location in which the object was saved to the library so the program will know where to find them and apply it to the object properly. If you see a black texture with yellow ! then your textures were not found. What can you do? You can open the object in the CWC, re-apply the textures then save the object to the library again.
