If you have digitized a stream alignment, you can save that stream alignment as an Arc shapefile. To export a stream alignment as a shapefile, you must have a stream alignment displayed in the map window.
To export a stream alignment as an Arc shapefile:
- From the Setup module, from the Watershed menu, point to Stream Alignment, click Import.
- A browser will open so that you can choose where the shapefile should be saved (Figure 1). Navigate to the appropriate folder. The default stream alignment is stored in the watershed's main folder, but you can choose to export to a different folder (e.g., the watershed's maps folder). Enter a name in the File name field. Click Save.
