identifying boundaries of elevation (XYZ) file

Hi,
I have a selection of XYZ files and some overlap, some do not.
What I would like to do is ask GM to create an area or polyline on the edges of an XYZ file.
In a sense, mark the boundary of an XYZ file, which I want to extraxt as a DXF and insert in an AutoCAD file later.
What I would like to do, is similar to the BBOXES function, but I want a "box" that fits snuggly all round the elevation file and not "box" it.
Maybe a buffer area function, for a loaded area?
Is that feasible?
Thanks everyone

Actually we just added that exact function last week! In the latest v14 build just load your point data, then right-click in the Digitizer Tool and select the Advanced Feature Creation option to create a polygon coverage (convex hull) from your data. I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper14.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v14.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v14 version there is a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper14_64bit.zip .
Thanks,
Mike
