If you have digitized a stream alignment by hand, you might want to save that stream alignment as an ArcView® shapefile. To export a stream alignment, you must have a stream alignment in the display area.

To export a stream alignment:

  • From the Watershed menu, select Export, and then select Stream Alignment from the Export submenu.
  • A Save File browser ("Figure: Save File Browser") will open.

    Figure: Save File Browser


  • Enter a name in the File Name box. Click OK, the Save File browser will close, and you will have an ArcView® shapefile of the displayed stream alignment.
