Is there a way to export layers to KML by altering the layer to KML tool to have more than one layer input?

Do you need your answer to use python? For the first question, there is a simple way using the UI. Also consider asking different questions separately. – Thomas Oct 12 '11 at 13:26
no I don't need to export data from google earth using python, but I have googled and there doesn't seem to be a way to export a lot of point features from google earth without manually clicking per page. – Nevu Oct 12 '11 at 13:30
I was referring to Batch export layers to kml: Is there a way to do this by altering the layer to kml tool to have more than one layer input? Do you need this answer to be in python? – Thomas Oct 12 '11 at 13:35
oh, I don't, but I would like it as a arctoolbox script. – Nevu Oct 12 '11 at 13:54

If you right click the Layer To KML tool in the ArcToolbox, there is a batch option. This is common for most of the geoprocessing tools for ArcGIS 10. You could also use the Map To KML tool, which creates a kmz of all the layers loaded within a saved mxd.
