I am having issues with the Layer to KML tool since the recent update to ArcGIS Pro 1.4. Before I was able to export data with no issues in referencing in Google Earth. Now when i export, it puts the data in an unknown location that I cannot even see it (Near Africa in the ocean when it should be in Colorado). I have tried changing the projection with no success. Any ideas?
Edit: I have attached the layer file below.
Edit2: Try again!
It is smaller. Where can I find your email address?
My bad - khibma@esri.com
Hello, I am having the same error. We have the data in WGS84 and the reference is completely wrong. It appears in Africa. Can someone please help me.
Define Projection of the feature class to GCS_WGS_1984. Currently, it seems you have defined a Projected Coordinate System where the XY coordinate values should have been in Decimal Degrees (or DMS).
Seems to be the same problem here. And my coordinate system is WGS84... The KML file content is not decimal degrees. Is KML valid with non decimal degrees coordinates ?

Could you attach a sample KML file here or in a new thread, so that we could review it?
Yes,
I have two layers with same GCS WGS 1984, one with polygon and one layer with points. Export to KML deliver two different output coordinate systems.
Examples and the KML file content:
Export of Points:
<Point>
<altitudeMode>clampToGround</altitudeMode>
<coordinates> 6.987022714000034,49.76743587300007,0</coordinates>
</Point>
And polygon:
<Polygon>
<extrude>0</extrude> <altitudeMode>clampToGround</altitudeMode>
<outerBoundaryIs><LinearRing><coordinates> 822511.8876194507,6483793.03864447,0 822511.8876194507,6483885.804929197,0 822419.1213347204,6483885.804929197,0 822419.1213347204,6483793.03864447,0 822511.8876194507,6483793.03864447,0</coordinates></LinearRing></outerBoundaryIs>
</Polygon>
I'm currently running Pro 1.4 - resistant to upgrade, and upgrades does now download right now...
Any idea why this is happening ?
Searched other posts, and did comment on one that sounded similar to my problem. Why is this even a problem, the output to KML is supposed to be in decimal degrees as i understand, or am i wrong ? Im not at all a GIS professional, so i might miss the obvious here...

Side note, it seems to follow coordinate system in the extent settings, what GCS is this.?
I manually upgrade to ArcGIS Pro 2.0. I cannot reproduce the problem.
