RE: [geonet]: X & Y Coordinates of Contour

[David Humphrey]

Colin, give this a try:  Plot the contours you want on a map.  Then, use "Mapping->Get polygons from a group".  This creates a polygon file of the form   poly 1     x    y     .    .     .    .     .    . poly 2     x    y     .    .     .    .     .    .   With a text editor, change all the "poly"s to "line", change the suffix on the file to .xyz, and import this file into a database a  Geosoft XYZ file.   Regards, David L.
