So in this challenge I asked you to convert your wineries with the vineyard layer to a point layer. Right now it's a polygon layer. Here's how I would do it. Since I love the search feature, and I'm not sure where in ArcToolbox I could do this, I'm going to use that first. Clicking Search and typing in polygon to point, I see some results. Looks like the second option Feature to Point is promising. I'll click that. Okay, according to the tool help on the right, it looks like we can convert this from a feature to a point. So let's put our polygon layer in and output it to see the results. Looks good. Now we have points we've converted successfully from polygons to points.
