Limit on the alphabets of name in the add field table

AdrianWong75

I am currently using ARCGIS 10.6.1. I wanted to type in the name Diameter of Ducts but the system does not allow me to and suggest I change the name to Diameter o. Has anybody encountered this before? Also, can KMZ files be converted to shape files?

 

 

Many Thanks and Best Regards,

Adrian Wong

spaces aren't allowed, you can use an underscore if needed.

Also, keep the field names relatively short, because if you want a shapefile output, long field names  will get truncated to 13ish (If memory serves) characters.  You can use an alias for the field, which is longer, but not the field name

PS

moved the question to geoprocessing-questions rather than member introductions
