Shapefile Export
Main Menu | Import / Export | GIS Files | Shapefile Export
Use this to export your points and linework in a shape file format. This can then be imported into products that support shape files. This export will create a DBF, SHP and a SHX file for the linework and points in your Project.
For example, if your Project name was FG Sample, the following files will be created for the linework.
FG Sample_POLYLINE.shx
FG Sample_POLYLINE.shp
FG Sample_POLYLINE.dbf
For the points in your Project, FieldGenius already stores points in a DBF file (FG Sample.dbf) so only two other files will be created.
FG Sample.shx
FG Sample.shp
Importing into ESRI or other application
To open these files in a compatible product you need to ensure you have all six file saved in the same directory.
