Exporting Online *lyr Layer file or Using it for analysis

Question

Hello All;

Is there any way to export the *.lyr file which I downloaded from the web or using it for analysis?

I can view it on arcmap, I can see the information stored in each polygons within this layer file but I can not select or extract the data at all and I cant do any analysis as well.

I would appreciate your support.

You would have to check with the originator of the data to see if the operation has even been enabled.

Hi Dan;

Thanks for your quick reply!

Unfortunately I keep receiving an error "one or more dropped items were invalid and will not be added to the control" .

below are the properties:

Data Type: ArcGIS Map Service
Connection: Internet
Server: https://portal.xyz
Name: Test
User: 
Operations Allowed: Map (Display), Query (Identify), Data (Find)
Map Service Type: Not Cached

Do you think there is another way to export the data?

Try the Copy Features tool in arctoolbox and make a copy of the features to a new feature class.  See if that one can be used.  What type of analysis tool were you trying to use? see if it accepts layer files (lyr) as input .  Also, see if the lyr file has its attributes set to read only at the operating system level (right-click on the layer in File Explorer and check the properties there)
