Exporting Data

One of the benefits of having a desktop GIS is the ability to output data in a number of formats. Cartographica has extensive export capabilities to provide for just this type of action. Generally, Cartographica can export entire Maps or just individual layers (or selected data within those layers). Which option is right for you depends on what you're trying to achieve.

Exporting Entire Maps

Carotgraphica can export Maps in a number of formats including (but not limited to):

To export an entire map, select Export Map… from the File menu and choose an appropriate file type and file name.

Exporting Layers and Features

Exporting entire layers (or selected Features inside of those layers) is an easy task. Cartographica exports individual features in ESRI®'s Shapefile format.

  1. Select the Layer that you want to export in the Layer Stack to the left
  2. Select Export Layer Features… from the File menu (Export Selected Features… if you want to export just the selection)
  3. Optionally select the character set (UTF-8 will be the default)
  4. Choose a file name and click on the Save button
