Title: Combined Shape File
Post by: nobody on January 22, 2018, 12:42:13 PM

I don't think it is, but is it possible to export a shapefile that contains everything in one file (polylines, points, etc)?

Thanks!

Not directly out of MAP. (as a SHP file)

However one can do it as and ESRI COVERAGE file or ESRI e00 file type.

However not all programs that are looking for a SHP file can import those other two as well.

Just an FYI from ESRI Shapefile specification
https://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf

All the non-Null shapes in a shapefile are required to be of the same shape type. The
values for shape type are as follows:

Value Shape Type
0 Null Shape
1 Point
3 PolyLine
5 Polygon
8 MultiPoint
11 PointZ
13 PolyLineZ
15 PolygonZ
18 MultiPointZ
21 PointM
23 PolyLineM
25 PolygonM
28 MultiPointM
31 MultiPatch
