Copying a Draw File
There are two different ways to copy a draw file. You can create an exact copy of an
existing file, retaining its draw file type, or you can copy the contents of an existing
file and save it as a different file type (for example, convert a road layer to a draw
layer).
Note Routable roads require a routable DeLorme dataset. Routable trails require a
topographic DeLorme dataset. For information, visit www.delorme.com or call
DeLorme Direct Sales at 800-561-5105.
To Copy a Draw File
Use the following steps to copy a draw file.
1. Click the Draw tab.
2. Click File to open the draw file editing area.
3. Click to select the file that you want to copy.
4. Click Copy To.
A menu displays the available layer types; Road, Trail, Waypoint, Track, and
GIS Layer.
Note If a layer type is not available in the menu, it is because the original
draw file that you are copying does not contain data that is pertinent to that
file type. For example, you cannot copy a draw layer that contains area
objects (such as circles) to a road layer that requires line objects.
