Export to different file formats

First of all I'm a newbee.

I have designed a frontplate wich looks pretty good and fit perfect. Now I want to put labels on the real frontplat made from aluminium by using thermo transfer method. This means I have to print a mirrored image of the front plate with all the labeling.

As far as I know librecad can not mirror text. So I tried to export my drawing instead of .dxf to an other file format and in turn mirror this one. Tried .jpg, .png and .tif. However all I got was empty files. Opening those file wit photoshop shows nothing. The good thing about this: photosop reports no error. However this is less then I've expected.

Thanks for your advice

You can explode text into lines and then make the offset

How do I explode text into lines? Offset means mirroring?

Thank you for your patience

Hi Rallaz
thank you for your patience. I'm still struggeling with two issues:
1) How to save a drawing in a fileformat other than .dxf e.g. .jpg .tif you name it
2) exploding text to something I (that means librecad) can mirror
Sorry for stupid questions
Thanks a lot

Great! Explode text into letters works, thank you!

2nd question was how to export into a different file format. I just click "Expoer..." from File menue, choose a file name, .jpg as format and set resolution to 600 all I get is an empty file (with the correct file name and extension)

Whats wrong with my settings?
