Travis,
Yes, you can do the same thing in ArcToolbox. First, convert your Shapefile
to a Coverage using 'Shapefile to Coverage' under 'Conversion Tools -->
Export from Shapefile'. Then use 'Coverage to Generate File' under
'Conversion Tools --> Export from Coverage'

Subject: [gislist] Export Polygon Coordinates - Part II
Okay Listers,
I am in amazement that such a seemingly remedial/fundamental process, such
as exporting polygon coordinates from ArcView 3.x could be so convoluted.
The bottom line is, you have to generate, or invoke a script (i.e.
shp2gen.ave) to complete this task. By the way, thanks very much to all of
you, whom responded.
I would now like to ask the same question using ArcMap (ArcInfo). Could you
please let me know how to export a polygon's coordinates to some type of
file (i.e. Excel, ASCII, etc...) using ArcMap (ArcInfo)? I can easily
acquire the coordinates, which make up the polygon, however, I can't seem to
find a way to automate this. Those of you familiar with this type of
operation, know that when a polygon is produced by means other than
importing a DBF, it doesn't retain (or list) the various vertices associated
with each and every polygon. I assume this is a programming tactic, devised
to save on file space and speed.
Can this be done using ArcToolbox, or is there a bigger and better tool?
Thanks very much,
Travis
