Export each individual state from a US map

I would like to export each individual state as an image from a map of the US. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to select each state individually and export singularly? The reason I ask is that exporting 50 states individually is not that hard, just time consuming, but in the future may have to export each county in the US from the same map.

    Solved! Thank you Mike for your help!

    To get rid of the vertices.

    Selected the entire US with digitizer tool

    clicked on the selected area>options>unchecked Always Render Vertices for Selected Features

    Then did the above.

    Result!

    Again, thanks Mike!

    You can select all of the state features with the Digitizer Tool, then start your export to the selected format. On the Tiling tab of the export dialog, choose to 'Use Selected Area Feature(s) for Tiles', then you should get a separate export for each selected area features.

    Thanks,

    Mike,

    This is almost perfect, thank you! However, It leaves the vertex around the states. Do you know of a way to eliminate that or to make the vertices not visible? The red line shown below are the vertices not a red border .

    Also tried to select each state individually but it will also leave the selection outline (not a border, trying to not have a border on this set of maps) as well as some red vertices.

    If you go to the Vector Display -> Rendering tab of the Config dialog you can uncheck the 'Always render vertices for selected features' option to get rid of the vertex display.

    Thanks,
