Export Selection to HOB

 

Menu

File > Export > Selection > HOB

Export a selection of features to a HOB file, extension .hob.

Features are not clipped during export; entire features are exported, not just the portion of the feature that is visible in the Display window.

A mapping file can be applied to convert features from one data format to another. A catalogue must be associated with the data.

This file can be opened in a chart viewer program.
