exporter un shapefile avec sa symbologie dans ArcGIS Pro

Résumé

It is sometimes necessary to export a shapefile with its symbology in ArcGIS Pro to share its geographic and attribute information. However, this is a known limitation, as shapefiles do not store attribute data such as annotation, attribute relationships, and attribute domains. An exported shapefile does not retain its symbology, as shown in the image below. Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Geoprocessing considerations for shapefile output for more information.

This article describes how to add symbology to an exported shapefile by importing the symbology as a layer file.
