Unable to create a shape file with 2 different object types

I am trying to convert a kml file which has lines & polypolylines in it to a shapefile using the spatial info function. However the shp file is getting created only for one of the object types. How do i integrate the lines & polypolylines and create one single shapefile.

Hi @Syedmohi ,

 

This restriction seems to be from the specification of Sharepfile.

> "Currently, shapefiles are restricted to contain the same type of shape as specified above"

 

As an workaround, you may want to try the approach in the below discussion.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
