Export

To export maps in shape format:

  • Load or create an existing map
  • Select "File–Save As"
  • Select "Save as type:" and choose "Catalog file (*.xml)"
  • In the menu item, select "Shape" as the format and verify the correct coverage is select (has a check mark)
  • Click "Ok"

An xml file is created which outlines the directories of the shape files.

If the coverage created is a generic 2dm, feature point and feature arc boundary condition data will also be saved.

Import

Open the saved *.xml file to import the data from the shape file.
