GMS can export files that can be used in other software. There are two methods to export data from GMS. Data can be exported through the Save As dialog or by right-clicking on items in the Project Explorer.

Exporting through the Save Dialog

The file types that can be exported are shown in the table below. To export a particular file type, the file filter corresponding to that file type should be selected in the Save dialog.

File Type File Ext Description
Image files
*.bmp, *.jpg, *.png, *.tif
Saves the graphics window as an image of the specified type.
Google Earth KMZ
*.kmz
Exports raster or vector kmz files for rendering in Google Earth.

Exporting from the Project Explorer

Items in the Project Explorer can be exported to different formats by right-clicking on an item and selecting the Export command. The table below lists the file formats that will be shown depending on the type of Project Explorer object selected:

Multiple Objects

If multiple objects are selected and they are all of the same type, they will all be exported to the same text file.

Folders

If a folder of objects is selected, then all of the geometric objects in the folder will be exported. Datasets will not be exported. If there are subfolders in the folder, all of the geometric objects will be recursively exported in all subfolders.
