A mxd is a map document which has references to data-on-disk or web services. References, not the data itself so you can't export data out of an mxd file.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Aug 2017 23:25:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-create-a-geo-database-dgb-file-from/m-p/138273#M7985 MelitaKennedy 2017-08-15T23:25:32Z Re: How to create a Geo database (.dgb) file from workspace (.mxd) file https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-create-a-geo-database-dgb-file-from/m-p/138274#M7986 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Robert,</P><P></P><P>It could be a feature class.

There's a CONVERT option that should convert all your map's data into a file geodatabase. I haven't used this tool personally so am not 100% sure how it will behave if you have "exotic" layers in your map, like rasters, network datasets, topology, etc. It's worth a shot, though.</P><P></P><P>Micah</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Aug 2017 23:47:03 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-create-a-geo-database-dgb-file-from/m-p/138277#M7989 MicahBabinski 2017-08-15T23:47:03Z Re: How to create a Geo database (.dgb) file from workspace (.mxd) file https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-create-a-geo-database-dgb-file-from/m-p/138278#M7990 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Are you looking for tutorials Sarath on how to do some of these basics?&nbsp; There are a <A href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/get-started/introduction/arcgis-tutorials.htm"><STRONG>number of tutorials in this link</STRONG></A> that should get you going with working with data etc.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 Aug 2017 22:27:25 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-create-a-geo-database-dgb-file-from/m-p/138278#M7990 DanPatterson_Retired 2017-08-16T22:27:25Z
