In addition to the above, there are parts to convert such as the following. In the case of accumulation of design searches, new image files embedded drawing names into are created. And whole and substitute drawings are created by putting multiple drawings of them together into one image. Moreover, the size is changed as follows. (no changes in extensions) 1) Each drawing - Black and white : 2362×1780 dots, Color : 1200×904 dots 2) Substitute, whole and correction drawings - Black and white : 4677×3307 dots, Color : 12980×904 dots In regard to JPEG of Hague applications, whole drawings of the same cases are reduced with the reduction ratio used for when the largest size drawing is reduced to the following. And they're converted into 24bit full color with the same ratio. Size : within 150×113（mm）,Resolution : within 200dpi			In regard to images in black and white, applicants create them in PNG/GIF/BMP. However, the images are converted into TIFF before sending them to servers. (In the case PNG/GIF are not black and white binary, they're converted into black and white binary. In the case BMP is not black and white binary, it's considred to be "error".) * Supplemental explanation : they're converted by application softwares, and then sent to receptions.

Some of these views may be omitted under certain conditions, e.g. identical and/or mirror image, etc. These requirements for the number and the angle of the aspect views to be submitted are now under review and will be abolished in the near future. The other views than the aspect views in the list may be allowed as supplementary/additional views. In case of "surface shading and stippling", it is recommended to describe to that effect so as to avoid undesirable confusion with surface patterns.
