How to use the tool

Prerequisite:

  2. Select one or more data export formats:
    • AutoCad DXF
    • Esri Shapefile
    • GeoPackage
    • Google KML
    • MapInfo MIF/MID

  3. Select whether you want selected features from all layers exported (All Layers) or only selected features from the current layer (Active Layer).

     
     
  4. Press Export to undertake the data export.
     
  5. The selected features will be saved to a Zip file (.zip) and the progress of this export is shown in the Status Bar. When the export is finished, a window will be displayed allowing you to access the Zip file. Data will be put into separate folders based on its export format.
