from graphics toolbox

[EdCarter]

Create a toolbox under ArcTools/Conversion Tools/From Graphics that would let you create point, line, and polygon graphics shapefiles or geodatabase layers.  At present the tools are not intuitively under a dropdown menu under Drawing Tools. Conversion tools should be in the conversion toolbox, or a duplicate there.

Thank you for submitting this idea @EdCarter 

There is a Graphics toolset in the Conversion toolbox here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/conversion/an-overview-of-the-graphics-tools... 

Given that, can you further clarify what you're looking for?

Thank you

[KoryKramer]

Closed pending further clarification.

[EdCarter]

Where?

[KoryKramer]

@EdCarter Are you in ArcMap? These tools are in ArcGIS Pro: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/conversion/an-overview-of-the-graphics-tools... 

[EdCarter]

Yes, many of the people in my office are still in ArcMap.

Thank you for the clarification, Ed.

ArcGIS Desktop is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea for ArcMap. Our recommendation is that users migrate their work to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information.
