Export a Bounding Polygon

Bounding polygons can be exported using the export tools provided in the File menu. In order to do this, however, they must first be converted to an acceptable format because bounding polygons in CSAR format cannot be directly exported in any format other than DXF.

To convert a bounding polygon you must first use the Import Selected Objects command to import the polygon into a feature layer as a Coverage area feature object. See Import Selected Objects for details on this command.

Procedure

1. Turn on and select the Bounding Polygon layer containing the bounding polygon you want to export.

2. Select the bounding line in the Display window.

3. Select the Import Selected Objects command and define object and attribute acronym values to import the polygon as a new area feature on a feature layer.

Once the polygon is converted, it can be exported to the proper file format.

4. Select the feature layer and select the newly created area feature in the Display window.

5. Select an Export Selection command and complete the export.

The bounding polygon is exported.
