Start-up View & Project
The CV XE GIS default start-up view, shown below, is focused on the Houston metro. The view is created by the CV XE software upon opening the GIS project file specified in the start-up configuration/INI file. The profile file references a set of shapefiles and other GIS-related files with defined start-up values. CV XE GIS projects are named with the file extension "gis". Several projects and associated files used in the project are provided with all versions of CV XE GIS.
