    Default Output Shape files for GIS mapping from Polylines?

    I keep getting asked to output shape files for GIS mapping or something - they want polygons in separate shapefiles.

    I keep telling them we cant do it but can give them dxfs instead. I thought I'd better check for sure but no one else here knows how to do it either.

    Can you confirm that I am right or give me some guidance please?

    I thank you!

    Hi Tracy,

    If you don't have Map, maybe plug "dwg to shp" into google. There are programs that can convert them for you. I can't recommend one (I haven't used anything other than Map), but maybe someone else has experience with them.

    If you do have Map, try the MAPEXPORT command, and select ESRI Shape in the Files of Type dropdown.
