See Export Formats for a full list of raster and vector export formats supported by Cadcorp SIS Desktop 9.1.

When a Table Window is the current Document window the Schema table and not the Map (Geometry) will be exported as a new table file.

Cadcorp SIS Desktop 9.1 does not export the extent of the current map window as raster data but the extent of the last Zoom command (i.e. Zoom Box, Zoom In, etc.).

For example a .png raster export will be clipped to the extent of selected items after a Zoom Selection (Home > Zoom) command.
