Copying a Draw File

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).

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 and select the layer type you want to copy to.

Select Road, Trail, Waypoint, or Track. A new file is created and inserted into the

table.

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.

Tip You can also change a draw object type using the right-click feature on the map. For

more information, see Changing Draw Object Types

Changing Draw Object Types

When you add a draw object to the map, a draw file is automatically created that includes

that object. The draw file type varies depending on the draw object that was created.

Draw Object Type Draw File Type

Routable Road Road Layer

Routable Trail Trail Layer

Waypoint Waypoint Layer

Track Track Layer

Area Object (Polygon, Circle, Rectangle) Draw Layer

Point Object (MapNote, Text Label, Symbol,

Image)

Line Object (Line, Arc, Spline)

You can right-click a draw object on the map and change it to a road, track, trail, waypoint,

or draw layer, depending on the type of draw object you selected. When the draw file type

is changed, the original draw file is maintained and a copy is made and switched to the new

draw file type, leaving you with two files: the original draw file and the copied draw file,

which has a new draw file type.
