Is there a way to use GM to export a polyline shp file from a polygon shp file while retaining its coordinate system? Thanx in advance.

Yes, you would need to load the polygon SHP file, then switch to the Digitizer Tool, use the Edit->Select All menu option to select all of the polygons, then right-click and select the option to create lines from the selected areas. You can then export the newly created lines to a new Shapefile.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,
Mike
