I've figured out a few ways to do it but each is tedious. I found a good post here talking about they are working on improving some of the webmap functionality for an easier build-in of what we are looking for. In the meanwhile you can convert the feature objects to JSON, import them somewhere and synch your data that way, or </SPAN><A href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp_start.htm#jshelp/intro_accessapi.html">http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp_start.htm#jshelp/intro_accessapi.html</A><SPAN>.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:00:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/interactively-selecting-shapefile-from-map-service/m-p/215775#M19999 DevonDunham1 2012-12-13T09:00:32Z
