Is there any way to automate breaking up a .SHP file that has many vector areas into individual .shp files with each area in a single .shp file?

i.e. I have DOQQ grids I need to drop to individual .shp files for each cell so that i can automate export of DOQ data...

Any help would be appreciated...

i.e. source.shp has 50 areas

would like to convert to

source1.shp with vector area 1
source2.shp with vector area 2
source3.shp with vector area 3

and so on and so forth...

    There is not currently any way to easily do this in Global Mapper. If you used the Global Mapper SDK you could more easily do this in an automated fashion. You can get more information on the Global Mapper SDK from the Developers page at GLOBAL MAPPER.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,

    Hi Mike,

    Yeah I thought as much, I'll look into getting the SDK once we have enough operating capital to afford it... I'd like to add some distributed computing routines into the process as well :-)

    I'll see if I can do some things through CSV as I suspect I may be able to work with my programmer to come up with a solution...

    ... a few mins later ...

    Okay found a way to do it externally with XYZ data...
