Lat/Long format in Vector Export to text

It would be nice to have control over the Lat/Long format when exporting vector data to text, e.g. have options to set the order as Lat then Long, and to choose between signed decimal degrees and Ndd:mm:ss.s,Wddd:mm:ss.s

    For some formats (like CSV) the Position Display Format setting on the General tab of the Configuration dialog will control the formatting of lat/lon values when export.

    Thanks,

    When trying to export only polyline data to CSV, I get a message saying "No point features found within the specified bounds". This happens for both export bounds set specifically and to "all loaded data".

    You can only export point data to CSV format files. For line data use the Simple ASCII Text file export.

    Thanks for yor replies, Mike!
    But then I get decimal degrees, not DMS which, on the General Tab of Configuration, is what I have selected. Incidentally, when the display is set to (Geo, WGS84), the second coordinate pair for the cursor position follows the Configuration setting correctly, but the first pair is always in decimal degrees, as is the export. So maybe my Suggestion should be in the Bugs section of the forum? I'm using GM12.02, downloaded today.

    Ken,

    I have updated the Simple ASCII Text export to use DMS or DM format for lat/lon values exported to text files if the Position Display Format is configured that way on the General tab of the Configuration dialog. I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper12.zip with the change for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v12.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v12 version there is a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper12_64bit.zip .

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,

    We're almost there! Unfortunately, if I choose to put Latitude before Longitude, the position 55:13:25 N, 003:17:21 W gets saved as 55:13:25 E, 003:17:21 S in the simple ASCII text file. When I choose Longitude first, it's OK.

    Oops, I've updated it to work even if the coordinates are flipped. I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper12.zip with the change for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v12.xx installation folder to give it a try.
