Convert graphics to feature(shapefile)

SateeshKarri

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to create graphics and convert those graphics to features (shapefile). Users should be able to draw graphics like point/line/polygon on surface and all those graphics should be converted to a shapefile in a workspace folder. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

The below given snippet may be useful.

IMap pMap = null;
IMxDocument pDoc = null;

pDoc = clsGlobal.pApp.Document as IMxDocument;
pMap = pDoc.FocusMap;

IGraphicsContainer graphicsContainer ;
pMap = pDoc.FocusMap;
graphicsContainer = pMap.Layer[0] as IGraphicsContainer;//Assuming that layer[0] will be a graphic layer
graphicsContainer.Reset();
IElement element = graphicsContainer.Next();
while (element != null)
{
if (element is IPolygonElement)
{

IElement polyElm = element as IElement;

IGeometry geom = polyElm.Geometry;
//add the task to do
}
element = graphicsContainer.Next();
}
