LAYER_BOUNDS="%state_background%" USE_EXACT_BOUNDS=YES not working in script

MorganRS

I use Global Mapper 17 to tile datasets out for use later on in an ArcGIS python script. Recently I started to notice that defining the layer bounds of another layer to use as the export bounds doesn't seem to be working correctly in script. Here is how this shp file should look when all is finished

When I comment the Global Mapper Export Script out of the script and do the export manually, setting the export bounds manually, the end result is as desired.
If I leave the Global Mapper export portion of the script in, and run it, this is the result.

The export bounds of the tiles isn't matching up correctly.
I'm using GM17.1 (b040816) 64bit
Here is the Global Mapper Script part of my script:

I tried running the script without defining the projection and still got the same results.

Hello,

I don't see a DEFINE_VAR for %state_background%.  Where is the value for that variable coming from?

Cheers,

Bob

DOH! Sometimes I guess you need a fresh set of eyes, because I completely missed that. Thanks. Fixed it and ran it and it's working fine.
