Even with the exact same coordinate system as my sat image, the points and lines still say they don't share the same even after transformation. Still can't keep the changed symbology in any shape file. This sucks.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 00:47:01 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/exporting-shapefiles-coordinate-system-labeling/m-p/135210#M7791 JohnBarrineau 2014-11-24T00:47:01Z Re: Exporting shapefiles, coordinate system, labeling... https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/exporting-shapefiles-coordinate-system-labeling/m-p/135211#M7792 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>save to layer file with the same name as your shapefile and include it in the zip, if everything is set properly, then the user just needs to load the layer and the symbology etc will be save...check the help file topics on layer and table views</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 01:16:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/exporting-shapefiles-coordinate-system-labeling/m-p/135211#M7792 DanPatterson_Retired 2014-11-24T01:16:37Z Re: Exporting shapefiles, coordinate system, labeling... https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/exporting-shapefiles-coordinate-system-labeling/m-p/135212#M7793 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks this was helpful unless one wants to open up a shp file in another GIS package....</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 08:47:30 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/exporting-shapefiles-coordinate-system-labeling/m-p/135212#M7793 JohnBarrineau 2014-11-24T08:47:30Z
