shape file

NajmehServatsamarein2

Hello. I try to save a shapefile with the symbiology. so my coworkers can open it in their map. but any time they open the shape file they need to set the source. and after that the symbiology that I have created doesn't show. they need to symbiology again. I tried save as layer but still same problem. is there any other way ?

@NajmehServatsamarein2 what software are you using? ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro?

Shapefiles don't support symbology, so when you set the symbology in Map or Pro, you'll need to export a layer file to accompany the shapefile. Then if the end user drags and drops in the layer file and repoints to the shapefile source, then you should be good to go.

Make sure you set the symbology on the shapefile you've exported. If you have symbology that's derived from ObjectID in a file geodatabase (for example), then you may lose the symbology as shapefile unique IDs are FID.

What software are you using? In ArcGIS Pro you can save the shapefile as a Layer Package. This way all things get preserved in this process, including symbology.

Shapefiles don't retain symbology when sending the shapefile to another person.

That is good to know! Layer packages work in ArcMap too:

I know you said that you saved as a 'layer', but the layer package is more 'guaranteed' in my opinion!

I am using ArcMap 10.5.1
