Coastline files contain x, y, z location information for arcs defining coastlines. The arcs defining a coastline can be created from ADCIRC and CGWAVE type coverages. When a Coastline file is read into SMS, feature arcs are created. If a coastline closes, the final point is not repeated. If no z-value is specified, SMS defaults the node z-value to 0.0.

Coastline files are opened through the menu File | Open and saved from File | Save As... from the Map module.
