•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.
