Exporting habitat and patch maps from RAMAS GIS to ArcView (with Spatial Analyst)

1. In RAMAS GIS, run "Find patches" to create the habitat suitability (HS) map and the patch map (or, open an existing *.PTC file with saved results).
2. If exporting the HS map, set
         Model | Habitat relationships | Decimals for habitat suitability map export
   to a sufficiently large number. This is the number of decimal places each cell value will have in the exported map. Its value depends on the range of values in the HS map, but usually it should be at least 3.
3. Select
         File | Export HS map... or
         File | Export patch map...
4. Select "ArcInfo raster files (ASC)" as "Save as type," give a name (e.g., Test.ASC), and click "Save" (important: remember the filename and the folder where you saved it).
5. In Arc View, load the Spatial Analyst extension (by selecting File | Extensions… and checking the box for Spatial Analyst; then clicking the OK button).
6. Open a new View.
7. Select File | Import data source…
8. Select "ASCII Raster" as the import file type, and click OK.
9. Navigate to the folder where you saved the map file you exported in step 4, and click on its name (e.g., Test.ASC) on the left side of the dialog box. Click OK.
10. The program will ask for a grid name. Select a folder and a name (the default name will be something like "Imgrd1"). Click OK.
11. The program will ask whether to import cell values as integers.
    For HS map, click "No"
    For patch map, click "Yes"
12. The program will ask whether to add the grid as a theme to the View. Click "Yes".
13. The grid will then be added to the View. To see the grid, check the box next to the grid name (e.g., Imgrd1).
