Screen Grid to file

Hi Mike,
Is it possible to export a screen grid to a file. I have some OS data loaded with a grid showing at 10000m squares and it would be great to export that to a vector file.

Hi Kentman,
If you select the raster grid layer in the Overlay Control Center and right click you will see an option to 'Create Area Features from Equal Values in Selected Layer'. This will create one area feature for adjacent cells with the same value.
There is also a Digitizer tool to create a 'Regular Grid of Features', this will create a grid based on user input - so, you could create a grid reflecting the spatial resolution and extent of your loaded raster data.

One additional thought, if you just want the bounding boxes of the maps as area features, simply select them with the Digitizer Tool, then right-click and select the option to create bounding box areas for the selected layers. Then you will get a bounding box (or optionally a polygonal coverage) for each map.
Thanks,
Mike
