Global Mapper v25.0

Path to Line

I have generated a complex path profile made up of many vertices which I wish to re-use.
Is there a way to save the coordinates for this path to a line feature and then use it again another day or on different data ?

Also, in a way the opposite question - if I generate a line (without any underlaying data - ie. it will not have z-values), how can I use this path to define a profile path ?

Thanks for your help.
Jorg.

    This is the more common workflow for creating a Path Profile.  After you digitize a line, select it then right-click and choose Analysis/Measurement | PATH PROFILE - Generate Path Profile Along Line(s).
