To do this, open the map where the layer with the symbology you want to save is. Right click the layer in the table of contents and select Save as Layer File. Then, when you click import, you can just navigate to the location of your .lyr file.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 02 Nov 2012 21:57:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/export-symbology-in-9-3/m-p/156007#M8746 LucasDanzinger 2012-11-02T21:57:05Z
