The Export ZMap+ IsoMap Line Text File command allows the user to export loaded line features to a ZMap+ text format file for use with applications like Landmark Graphics and GeoAtlas.
When selected, the command displays the ZMap+ IsoMap Line Export Options dialog which allows the user to setup the export. The dialog consists of an Export Bounds panel which allows the user to set up the portion of the loaded data they wish to export.
This format costs of a header for the file, then a header line for each line feature which has the line elevation (if available), then one line per each input coordinate, with the X coordinate followed by the Y coordinate. All features will be tagged as contour line types.
The following is short sample of an output file with a couple of features:
