Features To Graphics (Conversion)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Converts a feature layer's symbolized features into graphic elements in a graphics layer.

Usage

  • Symbolized features are converted to graphic elements using the geometry of the feature and the symbol from the layer's symbology.

  • This tool is commonly used to convert only a subset (selection) of features to graphics.

  • Use the Exclude converted features from drawing parameter to exclude converted features from the Input Features parameter value from drawing so that only graphic elements draw in their location. To redraw converted features, view the feature layer's properties and check the exclusion setting on the Selection tab.

  • This tool does not support batch geoprocessing.
