Global Mapper User's Manual
The Options panel allows the user to specify what character to user to separate the x, y, and z coordinates of
each vertex. In addition, the user can specify that they wish to separate each vector feature with a blank line or
some other custom separator text. The Coordinate Order section allows the user to control the order in which
the X (easting/longitude) and Y (northing/latitude) coordinates are exported. The export of elevation data is
controlled with the Export Elevations option. The Include Feature Attributes Before Coordinate Data and
Include Drawing Style Attributes Before Coordinate Data options respectively control whether or not feature
attributes or feature drawing style information is saved to the file on the lines preceding the coordinate data
for a feature.
If elevations are being exported, Global Mapper first looks for an elevation associated with the vertex being
exported. If no elevation is associated with the vertex, Global Mapper then checks all loaded elevation grid
data in reverse order of display to see if any of them have an elevation at the vertex location. If so, that
elevation is used.
ADVANCED USERS - In Global Mapper v11.02 and later you can customize the number of decimal digits
written out for the X and Y coordinates for a Simple ASCII Text export by creating a DWORD registry key
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Global Mapper\ASCIIExportCoordPrecision'. For example, set this
value to 6 to get 6 decimal digits for each X, Y, and Z coordinate.
