export to shapefile

Within workflow, is it only possible to export drawings as a shapefile using the "ExportMarkupLayer" command?

 

I'd like to be able to work with/modify graphics in a workflow and have them exported to shapefile at the end. This way, I can maintain attributes of a modified featureset. When exporting markup, it appears as though attributes are omitted (given markup doesn't have attributes?).

 

Is there a command I'm missing? I've looked through the SDK help to find one... "ExportResultsTo" seems logical, but I'm not sure if this can be called from workflow. 

 

Thanks for any help!

  Hi Erik, 

   

  I think you've been on the right track with all of your comments

  • "ExportMarkupLayer" command looks like the only way to directly initiate a shapefile export from a workflow
  • Markup doesn't keep attributes
  • "ExportResultsTo" is not intended to be used from a workflow.  Its parameters have to include a featureset collection object, which is something that we can't acquire from a workflow

  You could try using a SelectFeatures activity, and pointing out to your users that they can use the menu on the results list to export their results.  You could even add a DisplayForm or some other notification in the workflow to tell them about it.

   

  You might also consider checking whether a geoprocessor could handle making the required shapefile in the workflow.
