Lines and Areas Export button

Overview

To export line and area vector data, choose a file format, a path selection option, and specify a filename and folder location.

Formats

The following export formats are supported:

• AutoCAD Drawing/Exchange (DWG, DXF)
• Esri ArcInfo Generate (GEN)
• Esri Interchange File (E00)
• Esri Shapefile (SHP)
• GeoJSON (GEOJSON, JSON)
• Geopackage (GPKG)
• Google Earth (KML, KMZ)
• GPS Exchange Format (GPX)
• MapInfo Interchange Format (MIF)
• MapInfo Table (TAB)

Paths Selection

Choose the selected path or all paths in the document:

• Current path
• All paths in the document
• Path from document selection (i.e. use the current selection in the document).

Format Settings

Certain file formats have additional configuration parameters which will be shown in the Format settings section. These settings affect how Geographic Imager handles the data during export.

When selecting the Esri Arcinfo Generate (GEN) option, users can also select "Export Coordinate System as PRJ", in order to export their image's Coordinate System as a separate .PRJ file.

Limitations

 Paths are always exported to a single file (unless paths contain both lines & areas, and format does not support heterogenous layers). Each path feature is a feature of the output file and compound paths are retained.

 Donuts are not supported and will be exported as aggregates.
