Dumps selected grid components to a text file (*.txt) in a user controlled format.
By default all points on all grids are dumped. If you want to dump only a selected set of points use the window function defined below.
Upon selecting the desired data then OK, you will be prompted for a file name to save the data.
You can select CSV (comma separated/delimited data), TSV (tab separated/delimited data) or TXT (space sepat\rated/delimited data).
You can also specify to automatically open the file in Excel or Notepad.
Note that you should not use CSV files with commas as decimal points.

Window activates a graphical pick window.
•You will be prompted to select the two corners of the window by picking each with a single mouse click.
•Only grid points enclosed within the window will be included in the dump.
•If you do not use this function all points on all grids are dumped.
•To view the location of the actual contour points enable display of trajectories (Plot > Options > Trajectories). The contour points are located where the trajectories are drawn.
Polyline activates a graphical pick polygon. You will be prompted to select a series of corners to define a polygon by picking each with a single mouse click:
•You must hold the Shift-key down while selecting these points.
•If you define a closed polygonal shape - those contour points enclosed in the polygon will be included.
•If you define an open polygonal shape - a series of points along the length of the polyline will be included.
•To view the location of the actual contour points enable display of trajectories (Plot > Options > Trajectories). The contour points are located where the trajectories are drawn.
•Simple rectangular widow shapes can be defined by holding the Shift-key and dragging open a window (same as with the Window button).
