Creating Vector Tile cache using Arcmap

[MANESK]

Is it possible to create a vector tile cache using ArcGIS Desktop 10.5!!

are you talking about a feature cache?

[MANESK]

Yes Dan. I've a feature class of a continent. I need to publish as a web map so that it should render fast.

If you have ArcMap and you are on maintenance you also have access to ArcGIS Pro. As far as I can see the creation of vector tiles is not possible using ArcMap. You will have to use ArcGIS Pro: Author a map for vector tile creation—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

Thanks Xander. I'll try it.

I'm guessing a vector tile cache is unable to be viewed via ArcMap / ArcEngine?

Thanks

from Xander's link, even the alternatives would limit you

Alternatively, you can use the Create Vector Tile Package tool. This tool will generate a complete vector tile package, a .vtpk file from a map or a basemap. You can then share and use the vector tiles in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise.
