+**maps-offset** if OFF is chosen, defined offsets are ignored, and the scraps are drawn in their true positions.   Previews are exported as usual (although previews associated with any offsets are of course not required).  Maps-offset has no meaning or effect if maps off is also chosen.
 \\ \\
 **Select** selects particular surveys and or maps to export.  If you do not select a survey, all surveys are selected by default.  If you do not select a map, all scraps and maps are selected by default.  Optional.
