4.2.4 Reusing ASCII DCL files
You can use Mif2Go to convert the files in your document to ASCII DCL, by choosing ASCII DCL only in the Mif2Go plug-in Choose Project dialog (see §3.3 Setting up a Mif2Go project). Because Mif2Go processes graphics as part of the conversion from MIF to DCL, and writes out graphics files in addition to DCL files, you can use this choice to export graphics from your document so you can alter or replace them before producing final output. Next time you run the same conversion, you can direct Mif2Go to use those DCL files (and your altered or replaced graphics files) instead of creating them anew:
; UseExistingDCL = No (default, make .dcb)
; or Yes (use .dcl file if it exists)
When you specify UseExistingDCL=Yes, instead of creating binary DCL files (extension .dcb) and then deleting them at the end of the conversion process, Mif2Go uses the existing ASCII DCL files (extension .dcl), and leaves them in place.
