Peter, While there is not a way to set the scale of the path profile dialog to 1:1, what you can do is export an XYZ file from the File menu in the path...
Mike, Thanks for your help. I configured the settings so that the xyz positions where in the same units. I then created a profile and saved it as an xyz file...
Peter, You can't just rename the XYZ file to make it a DXF or DWG file, those are completely different format. You can import the XYZ file back into Global ...
Mike thanks, I'll try to import back into global mapper. I'm only looking for 2 dimensional cross sections cutting through the earth. Thanks for you help. ...
Can anyone point me to a program that converts xyz files to dwg or dxf file for AutoCADD. I've come upon programs that go from dxf to xyz but not the reverse....
Peter, There are a number of different options. It depends on what type of xyz information are you dealing with, and what do you want to do in AutoCAD. If you...
Mike, Unfortunately I know very little when it comes to computers and programming. The script idea is Greek to me. I wish I had a brilliant mind that enabled...
Peter, I have modified the DXF exporter in Global Mapper to actually create true 3D polylines from XYZ files (and any other 3D vector data). This should fix ...
Mike, Thanks for responding again. I gave it another shot and did not have much luck. If its okay with you, I'll give you a call tomorrow after work around...
Peter, The first thing that we need to do is make sure that you are using the latest build. If you go to Help->About, what does the time stamp say for when the...
hi mike, when GM displays TIGER Data, what fields does it use to classify the data in order to display the data in such a map-friendly fashion (i.e., RR as...
There's not really an easy way to decode a row and column from an ASCII DEM file without a lot of manual effort. I'd suggest checking out the USGS DEM format...
Lance, Features in Tiger data are mapped to Global Mapper types using the CFCC codes for the features. The current release of Global Mapper just uses the CFCC...
Hi I have been using the program for the last few months and love it. I just upgraded to v7 and it is great but I need a few more features. I would like to ...
Bill, You can change the line type of the bread crumb trail (i.e. track) by going to the Line Styles tab of the Configuration dialog and changing the style for...
We have a Canon W6200 large-format printer at the office (24" wide), and we've tried printing USGS 1:24K topo maps to scale to it using Global Mapper 6.09. But...
I'm not sure what the problem might be, it could be that the bitmap is getting to be too large for printing. Have you tried printing to a file, like a TIFF,...
Victor, You can do that easily with a minor modification to the .gmw file. Just load the .gmw files in a text editor, then remove the UNLOAD_ALL line near the ...
If you are talking about saved *.gmw files, they are text files, so you can open the two you want to merger, then cut and paste from each into a third, which...
I was doing some work yesterday with contour lines, the subject being the Gallipoli area of Turkey. I noticed that the program, when I set parameters to...
Paul, If there are not any elevation values below 0 in the data, there won't be a contour generated at that elevation. There has to actually be a transition ...
Hi Re:v7.01 For some shapefiles, I have to load them singly and then in the Shapefile options dialog, I have to "Get Feature Name from Attribute" and then ...
Bill, There currently aren't any options to modify the vector layer display options in a map catalog, although we do plan to add some capabilities for that in...
Hi Again Mike: I tried your suggestion and saved to a package file. When I reload the package file, the attribute and type settings appear as you suggest. When...
Bill, Do you mean to say that the layer do NOT appear to display when you add the packages to the catalog? Could you perhaps send your catalog (.gmc) file and ...
