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.
