Usage

- Select the objects and press Enter. Objects already selected are used.
Select objects:
- Choose the file in the dialog box or enter its path. The format comes from the extension.
Output file (.shp, .kml, .kmz or .geojson):
When it finishes, the files written are listed.
Notes
- KML, KMZ and GeoJSON are in WGS84 (latitude and longitude), so the drawing needs its coordinate system (GEOGRAPHICLOCATION).
- SHP is in the drawing's system, with its
.prj; without a system, in the drawing's coordinates as they are. One file is written per geometry type (points, lines and polygons). - Points, block inserts and texts are written as points; everything else as lines or, if closed, as polygons. Arcs and curves are split into straight segments.
- Each feature carries as attributes its layer, its text, the block's attributes and the fields it brought from MAPIMPORT.
- Each polygon is exported as a single ring, without holes.
