Creating an ArcInfo coverage using selected layers

The Geodatabase To Coverage tool can export feature classes that are listed as selectable layers in the table of contents. This method allows you to manually create thematic coverages that can include polygons and lines. For instance, you could create a coverage from the political boundary area and line feature classes.

You can also specify a tolerance for creating the coverage.
