How do you export a Vector CSV file containing only the selected points?

Is there a way to export a csv file containing only the selected points when going through Export->Vector/Lidar Format->csv?  If not, can someone recommend a solution.  I have thousands of points and only need to export a few hundred of them based on my selection.

Thanks,

John

    Hello John,

    We have an open feature request for to be able to export selected features directly, but it has not been implemented yet.  I have added your information to the request, and we will post a message on this thread when the status of the request changes.  In the meantime, here is a workaround:
    1. Select your features
    2. Edit | Copy Selected Features to Clipboard
    3. Edit | Paste Features From Clipboard
    4. When prompted, create a new layer
    5. In the Control Center, right-click the new layer and choose Layer | EXPORT from the context menu (or just EXPORT if your Global Mapper version is before v18)
    Once you are done with the export, you can close the newly created layer to get rid of the copy.

    Cheers,
    Bob
