ArcGIS 9.x would retain the last format I exported to. At version 10 TIFF is the default regardless of which format I exported to last. Is it possible to change the default export format?
I don't think the previous versions (9.3.1 and 9.2) remembered the output format in the data export dialog. The only difference is that the default format at 10.0 is TIFF compared to IMG previously. The only time the "format" is remembered is when you write to a GDB since you're then writing a GDB raster (it's remembered through the output path you specify). I am not aware of any setting that can change your default output format.
Thanks. This makes sense, as I almost always use the IMAGINE Image format when working with lidar elevation data -- my primary workflow. I mistakenly thought the initial default was something other than IMG at 9.x.
