Topic:
How to export Basemap Plus contours.

Description:
        

Solution:
You can do this if you have the GeoFrame CPS-3 license:

First bring the contour set into CPS-3 using the GeoFrame Link: 
  - File > GeoFrame Link

    On the Load from GeoFrame tab: 

        - Click Data Types... and select Contour Sets Under Representations, 
          click OK.

        - Click Select Data... and select the Container and Representation, 
          click OK.

        - Click Run.

Now, export the contour set from CPS-3:

    - File > Export > ASCII > Data
      Browse/enter in the full path for the file name into which you want to 
      write the contours (e.g., /full/path/to/output/file/contours_out.ascii).

    - Click Pick Set..., select the contour set, and click OK.

    - Select/verify the correct Display environment. 

    - Click OK.

The contour data will be written into the file ``contours_out.ascii'' in the
directory /full/path/to/output/file.  It will look something like:
