I have generated several worlds but did not realize the value of having a bmp and history exported. Can I get at that afterwards?

[sunshaker]

Yes. If you are not play a fortress or adventuring in that world then you can go into Legends and generate a world seed, map and other things.

If you are playing a fortress or adventuring in the world then you can still do it, it is just a bit more complicated. First, with Dwarf Fortress off, backup/copy your saved game folder to another directory. Then start DF and abandon your fort or retire your character. Now go into Legends and generate your seed, map and other stuff. Quit DF. Copy those files to a safe place. Replace the "abandoned/retired" save with the backup of the "active" save. Continue enjoying your game.

Splendid! Thank you.

Why go to the trouble of copying twice?

Copy the save folder once, with a different name in the same directory (i.e., "region1" and "region1 copy").  Start DF and load the copy.  Abandon that fortress.  Delete when done.  Less work, same results.

You can get your seed without any mucking about with save files.  Just go to the Escape menu and do "Export Local Image".  Along with the images will be a text file with all the worldgen info, including seed.  I don't think this gets your embark location, though...
