- Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am using Feature Analyst in ArcGIS to classify veg. polygons. I want to take a look at my signature separability first, though, so I opened a veg shapefile in ERDAS, selected it as an aoi, and then did the "copy selection to aoi" choice. I then went into signature editor and tried to add a new signature (create a signature file) by adding from aoi but it will not retrieve it. It just gives me an error message and tells me to use the tools but of course I do not want to re-digitize all of these polygons. Does anyone know how to fully convert shapefiles to signatures? Thank you in advance...

You'll want to convert your shapefile into an AOI, then create a signature
file from your AOI and your image.

1) Open shapefile on your image and display as polygon
2) Select all polygons
3) From viewer AOI pull-down menu, select copy selection to AOI. Save this
AOI file. Select all AOIs.
4) From Signature Editor, hit the third button from left to "Create New
Signature(s) from AOI".
