Hi Matt,
When exporting from RM to shapefile sometimes(?) a file named Shorelines.shp is generated. If I include this file in an IMC-build of a map it covers the shaded relief background so it won't display regardless of settings in the plotter. When I open Shorelines.shp in Qgis it seems to be more or less identical to the ShorelinePolylines.shp-file, so am I missing anything by leaving the Shorelines.shp out when generating a map in IMC?
Thanks for great support,
Markus

Hi Markus,
Shorelines is a filled polygon, possibly with holes for islands. It is not useful for use with any sort of raster layer, as you have discovered, but is potentially useful in a number of other situations.
The shoreline polylines file contains the shorelines and islands as lines.
