Exporting boundaries and subboundaries

Boundaries created in BoundarySeer can be exported for use in a GIS.   

  1. To export a boundary, choose "Export" from the File menu or the pop-up menu that appears after you right-click the boundary in the project window.

  2. In the "Export" dialog, choose to export a boundary on the pull-down menu.

  3. When you select boundary, BoundarySeer will list all boundaries in your project. Select the boundary you want to export.

  4. The export file format varies with the boundary type. If you are exporting a point boundary, choose between exporting a text file (*.txt) or a shapefile (.shp, .shx, .dbf). For all other boundary types, there is only one choice, and the "file type:" option will be grayed out.

  5. The coordinate system of the boundary is presented in the "Coordinate system" box. If BoundarySeer converted your data from geographic (latitude-longitude) data to UTM on import, you have the option of changing them back when you export.

  6. Select "Save As."

  7. A new window will appear that allows you to choose where to save the file and its name.

  8. The export format appropriate for your boundary will appear in the "Save as type" box. Once you have selected a location and a file name, select "Save".
