We have quite a lot of layers, so I would like to find a quicker way to do this short of exporting each layer one at a time. Does anyone know of a tool that will let you batch export selected features to a new shapefile using the same name as the input feature classes?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 16 Jul 2020 15:21:54 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/is-there-a-way-to-easily-export-a-selection-from/m-p/273469#M627 MDB_GIS 2020-07-16T15:21:54Z Re: Is there a way to easily export a selection from multiple layers into multiple shapefiles? https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/is-there-a-way-to-easily-export-a-selection-from/m-p/273470#M628 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>with a script - arcpy.listLayers(mxd) then copy etc or the Clip and Ship tool.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 16 Jul 2020 19:17:06 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/is-there-a-way-to-easily-export-a-selection-from/m-p/273470#M628 DavidPike 2020-07-16T19:17:06Z Re: Is there a way to easily export a selection from multiple layers into multiple shapefiles? https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/is-there-a-way-to-easily-export-a-selection-from/m-p/273471#M629 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>One quick and easy way is to run the Feature Class to Shapefle in Batch mode.&nbsp; To do this, search for Feature Class to Shapefile.&nbsp; Right-click and select "batch."&nbsp; From there, fill out the Input Parameters for your series of shapefiles (in my case in the Map View with selections).&nbsp; Then identify the Batch Output folder you wish the selected records to go to (in my case, a test folder under my c:/temp directory).&nbsp; Voila!&nbsp; Same name as the original shapefiles.</P><P><IMG alt="" class="jive-emoji image-1 jive-image j-img-original" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/500515_Batch.JPG" /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 16 Jul 2020 19:51:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/is-there-a-way-to-easily-export-a-selection-from/m-p/273471#M629 Robert_LeClair 2020-07-16T19:51:36Z Re: Is there a way to easily export a selection from multiple layers into multiple shapefiles? https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/is-there-a-way-to-easily-export-a-selection-from/m-p/273472#M630 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have no idea that how this solution slipped by me! I ended up finding a second way to accomplish this as well using the "Extract" tool in ArcGIS Desktop. This way seems a bit more straightforward, so I will use it next time.
