Saving data from WMS/WFS/WCS
I've recently been playing a little bit more with WMS (web map service), WCS (web coverage service) and WFS (web feature service) data in ArcGIS. I was interested in seeing whether I could save data streamed from a map server and after little success hit the ESRI knowledgebase. And the answer is sometimes. It would appear from the following article that you cannot save data from an map service (either ArcIMS or WMS) as they are simply. However if you want to save vector data (e.g. from a WFS stream) then it should be possible by selecting the features, copying them to a new layer and exporting it as a shapefile. At the moment I donot think that WCS is supported but it would be nice to be corrected on this one (which means no saving of raster data). All somewhat longwinded and not what I expected. If anyone has further experiences or ideas I would be very interested.
