3.Choose an export format from the context menu and select a target file in the save dialog.

Supported formats

 

CPS-3 line (.cps3) — native line format; round-trip with Import polygons.

Shapefile (.shp) — standard GIS format. Each polygon is written as a feature inside a Polygons layer, so multiple polygons can be exported into a single shapefile.

See GIS Data Formats for a detailed description of each format.
