Is there a way to easily export a selection from multiple layers into multiple shapefiles?

MDB_GIS

I have been given a request to export ALL GIS features that we have for a certain geographic area only. We have quite a lot of layers, so I would like to find a quicker way to do this short of exporting each layer one at a time. Does anyone know of a tool that will let you batch export selected features to a new shapefile using the same name as the input feature classes?

One quick and easy way is to run the Feature Class to Shapefle in Batch mode.  To do this, search for Feature Class to Shapefile.  Right-click and select "batch."  From there, fill out the Input Parameters for your series of shapefiles (in my case in the Map View with selections).  Then identify the Batch Output folder you wish the selected records to go to (in my case, a test folder under my c:/temp directory).  Voila!  Same name as the original shapefiles.
