You can right click on the layer and choose save as.  Then select save to csv.  Select save selected if you only want a selection and select AS_WKT to get the coordinates.  Then select the CRS in this case something like 4326 to get longitude latitude coordinates.

The important point is to make sure the shapefile is in a proper projection and not just a cartesian reference. Then you can export the vertices after reprojecting.

There are other ways to do this via GMT too.

You can simply copy selected features from attributes table and paste them to excel table.
in the first column you will find magically the geom attribute in WKT (Well Known Text format) containing all vertices coordinates expressed in layer srs.
To get lat/long in geom field you need to explicitly reproject layer with vector or processing tool. Reproject on the fly does not apply on copy & paste geom field.

Hello,

 

I need to export polygon coordinates from shp  to text file.

I can mark an object on map and use “Ctrl+C” but only x y coordinates are copied.

How can I recalculate X Y coordinates to get lat/long geographical coordinates? I’d prefer to do it in Excel, because have a lot of extracted X Y data.
