Saving
ARTS design sheets can be saved to disk for future reference or analysis. Saved files contain the complete data for the set of objects on the design sheet, including the system connectivity.

Printing
ARTS includes print previewing and printing of reports, which can include the design sheet graphic, a texual summary of objects on the design sheet or both.

Export to other applications
ARTS design sheet graphics can be copied to the widows clipboard. Once this is done the graphic can be pasted into any application which supports the metafile format, including most word processing and spreadsheet packages. Metafiles are scaleable, and therefore can be resized without loss of quality in the destination package. ARTS can also export design sheets as text files which are compatible with Epanet.

Textual output
A listing of all objects on the design sheet together with their data can be copied to the Windows clipboard as Rich Text Format (RTF) data. This type of data allows the formatting of the text to be copied also (such as Bold, Italic etc). Once on the Windows clipboard, this data can be pasted into applications as plain text or RTF format text. This text can also be saved to a file, which can then be opened by word processing packages or other packages which are capable of opening RTF format files.

Graphs
Graphical output
Graphs can be copied to the Windows clipboard as graphic Windows metafiles, which facilitates the pasting of scaleable graphs directly into destination packages.

Textual output
The data used to create a graph can be copied to the Window clipboard in tab-delimited format. This format enables pasting of the data directly into rows and columns of spreadsheet packages. The textual format is useful for pasting into applications that have graphing capabilities in order to customise the appearance of a graph.
