Using Quick Export

Converts one or more feature classes into any supported output format.

Note: The Quick Export tool does not export Geodatabase topology or relationship feature types.

  1. Under FME Interoperability Tools in ArcToolbox, choose Quick Export.

The Quick Export dialog appears.

Alternatively, if you created a custom toolbox, you can add the Quick Export selection:

    • Right click on the new tool, and choose Tool... from the Add menu

    • Check Data Interoperability Tools:

  1. Click the folder icon to locate a dataset and choose the input layer(s).

Tip: To select more than one layer, press the Ctrl key and left-click the mouse.

The layers will appear in the list. You can change the order in which they appear, or remove them.

  1. Specify the Output Dataset.

Select the format of the output data and choose a dataset name. You can also click the Browse button to choose from the Reader and Writer Gallery.

For Format Settings Box Help: Press the Help button, the F1 button on your keyboard, or click the question mark in the upper-right portion of the Settings Box.

Note: The output dataset defaults to NULL, which is useful only for testing purposes. Any feature written to it is deleted, and it produces no output.

  1. Click OK.

The output file will be produced. A log window displays the processing information, including the number and type of the features being written.
