If you export to a single file, specify the path and file name.
To export to multiple files, click the folder icon to specify the location for each relevant feature type. If you leave a feature type blank, the export operation will omit that feature type. If the files will all be in the same location, click Set Location to set the path for all the files at one time.
- Click
