Exporting a Layer as a File
Any layer you have imported into DelphMap can be exported out of DelphMap as
a TIF or DXF file. If you’re exporting from an image (raster) layer, DelphMap can
save the exported layer as a GeoTIFF or TIFF file. If you’re exporting from a
vector layer, DelphMap can save the exported layer as a DXF or SHP file. The
exported file can then be imported into any application capable of reading, and
perhaps editing, the file.

Right-click on the layer type and choose Export As .
The system displays a Save As dialog box and shows a
suggested file name based on the primary name of the file in the
layer. The file name’s extension does not appear.
Either accept or rename the primary name of the file in the layer
and choose a file type from the Save As type part of the dialog
box.
You do not have to provide the file extension in the box where
you specify the file name; DelphMap will provide the appropriate
file extension for you if you omit it. You can also specify or
browse for a directory different from the currently displayed
choice.
If you are exporting an image (raster) layer, the Save As type
choices are GeoTiff Image or TIFF Image. If you are exporting a
vector layer, the only available file type in the Save As type part
of the dialog box is ASCII Autocad Files (*.DXF).
