Resumo
A layer package is a zipped folder containing the layer properties and the dataset referenced by a layer. In some instances, it is required to convert all the data from a layer package to a shapefile for data analysis purposes. This article provides instructions to convert a layer package to a shapefile in ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap.
Procedimento
ArcGIS Pro
Use the Export Features tool to convert a layer package to a shapefile in ArcGIS Pro.
- In ArcGIS Pro, in the Catalog tab, right-click Folders, and select Add Folder Connection.
- Select the desired folder containing the layer package file, and click OK to add the folder.
- Right-click the layer package file, and select Add To Current Map.
- In the Contents pane, right-click the feature layer, and navigate to Data > Export Features.
- In the Export Features window, specify the Output Location to save the output feature, and specify the Output Name.
Note:
The output location must be a non-geodatabase folder.
- Click OK to generate the shapefile.
ArcMap
Use the Feature Class To Shapefile (multiple) tool to convert a layer package to a shapefile in ArcMap.
- In File Explorer, select and click the desired layer package file to open it in ArcMap. The image below shows an example of an ArcMap layer package file, Transportation.
- Use the Feature Class To Shapefile (multiple) tool to convert the layer package to a shapefile.
- In the Geoprocessing pane, navigate to Search for Tools.
- Search for the Feature Class to Shapefile (multiple) tool.
- For Input Features, select the desired layer package file.
