Add a Shapefile to KMZ conversion tool

GeoffroyRicher-Lalonde — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 17:36:03 GMT

When a Shapefile is added to ArcGIS Earth, it is not possible to save it as a KMZ (as the Save as option is grayed out) :

It would be interesting to have the opportunity to save a SHP as a KMZ.

Thank you.

Thanks for your idea. We'd like to let you know that we're working on this and will include it in the next release.

Meanwhile, you could export selected features through the attribute table of a shapefile from ArcGIS Earth Desktop 1.15 or later.

Thanks,

Xuewen

@XuewenZhang can you confirm if this has been implemented or not?

Yes, this has been implemented from ArcGIS Earth 1.17. Users can save a Shapefile as KMZ directly by right-clikcing the layer from TOC. Please check this what's new for details: What's new in ArcGIS Earth 1.17—ArcGIS Earth | Documentation

Thanks,

Xuewen
