Shoreline created with GoogleEarth and Autochart Pro
« on: January 11, 2022, 05:17:27 PM »
Hey does anybody know how to get the shorelines visible in my helix unit? The software saved them as acd files, but they do not show up in the unit?

I don't think that it's possible to make shoreline created with Autochart PC display on your unit as solid lines. At least i never managed to achieve that. If someone knows how to have them displayed i'm interested.

Still, these shorelines you created with Google Earth (missing islands or even a whole lake contour) are needed and used by AC PC to draw a realistic contour map. So even if they don't display they are very useful.

I guess it could be possible to display  them by making an image of the shorelines and using superposition options, but that would be a lot of troubles for a small profit.

hello, i have also similary problems
i am trying to insert the shore lines of a river in autochart from shp files
but the lines are reduced to a doted line, the extremities of the vectors, and more there is a small offset toward East
i converted the shp in kml in line but i get "no data found" when importing 
a solution could be to import a background picture and draw manually lines on it but how to do this fior example with a geotiff picture
