Tour 8: Exporting Maps

Use the 'Export  Map to Clipboard, File or GIS' menu selections to open the 'Export Wizard.

The 'Map Export Wizard' allows you to export maps in many formats for almost any use.

1.  Export: Choose between exporting the viewed portion of the map or the entire map.

2.  To: Determine if the map is being exported to the clipboard ( .bmp) or to a file on you computer.  

If writing to a file,  you can choose the file format (.gif, .tif, .bmp,...).  Checking 'Write a description...' will create a .txt description of the map. Checking 'Write a .TFW...' will generate a worldfile for use by GIS and CAD applications.

3.  mage Options: Choose which annotations are shown on the exported map.

Resample output image: The 'Map Export Wizard' can down-sample the image to reduce it's size..
