Output

Output File Name

Name and location of the output file. If Source View is visible, this field is empty; if a panel view or Sheet View is visible, the default location is ...\<user name>\Application Data\CARIS\HPD\<version>\HPD Paper Chart Editor.

Select a location and name for the file.

Export Extents

The following options are available:

• All Panels: Export all panels as separate images. A panel number is appended to the chart name (e.g. ChartName_PanelNumber.tif)

• Panel number: Export an area of the chart limited by panel extents. The export process computes an extent that encompasses all features that belong to the panel. That computed extent is not equal to the panel's boundary.

• Sheet:

• Export a single sheet as a TIFF image

• Export separate GeoTIFF sheets set to the coordinate reference system of the panels. The total number of sheets are determined by the number of panels. This option is available only if the Sheet with Panel option is selected

• Inked area of the sheet to export only those areas of the chart with content.

• Current View: Export the area of Source or Sheet/Panel View that is currently in view.

• Export Area: Export an area if an export area has been set.

Select an option from the list.
