topic How can I change polylines into polygones? in Mapping Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-can-i-change-polylines-into-polygones/m-p/74554#M894 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi, </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a shapefile that contains information about different areas of a specific city. But when I identify to the areas the program only highlight the contour of the area and not the whole region of the area. So when I am trying to export the coordinates of that city I am taking only information about the contour of the city. How can I change those polylines into polygones so I can export the coordinates for the whole area and not only for the contour?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 05 Apr 2011 11:10:34 GMT SophiaGeorgiadou 2011-04-05T11:10:34Z How can I change polylines into polygones? https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-can-i-change-polylines-into-polygones/m-p/74554#M894 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi, </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a shapefile that contains information about different areas of a specific city.
