Step 3: Convert feature classes in Simbavaria geodatabase into shapefiles

• Start ArcCatalog. Navigate to where your SimBavaria personal geodatabase is located.
• In order to create shapefiles from feature classes stored in a personal geodatabase, you must first create a new folder to which you will store the shapefiles you are about to create. To do this,
  • Choose a location where you would like to store the shapefiles and then right mouse-click New / Folder.
  • Name the folder “QC_SimBavaria”.
  • Display ArcToolbox.
  • Go to Conversion Tools / To Shapefile / Feature Class to Shapefile (multiple).
  • Add the districts, rivers, cities, and roads layers.
  • For the Output Folder location, navigate to your “QC_SimBavaria” folder and click Add.
  • Click Okay in the Feature Class to Shapefile window.
  • Close the status box when the tool has finished running.
• Using the Feature Class to Shapefile conversion tool has created a single shapefile for each corresponding feature class.
