I have tried exporting to a CAD and from Microstation i can convert it to .kml. This way i get the Coordinates but not the Attributes and IDS. So alla the relations between polylines and attributes are missing making the data pretty much worthless...</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:39:13 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/export-coordinates-from-polyline/m-p/416393#M14072 JohanEnglund 2013-08-13T14:39:13Z Re: Export coordinates from polyline https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/export-coordinates-from-polyline/m-p/416394#M14073 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>If your final goal is to have a .kml file, just use the Layer To Kml tool: </SPAN><A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00120000004n000000">http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00120000004n000000</A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I think this standard tool has been avalable since v9.3.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 13 Aug 2013 16:54:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/export-coordinates-from-polyline/m-p/416394#M14073 ChrisSnyder 2013-08-13T16:54:48Z
