I have a few areas (SHP files) that contain holes (islands). When I use the "Create line from Area" function on the selected area the perimeter is converted to a line but the holes are not. Is there is work-around or am I missing something?

    You would need to select the hole/island areas as well if you want to generate lines from them. This provides you the flexibility to just generate lines from the outer boundary or from whichever islands that you want without having to do them all.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,
