| May 1, 2015 at 14:56 | comment | added | Credible Holk | Great feedback. I'd been zipping them together as a temporary solution until I could understand better. I am creating shapefiles using geotools from a db but have to provide them to a customer who does use ESRI. I've started using QGIS to view them and verify they work but had been using a geotools viewer I created. My objective is to be able to hand these shapefiles off the best way for the folks using ArcGis. There in lies my limitations on the single geometry. | |

Is shapefile a requirement, or would a file or personal geodatabase (ArcGIS primarily but some use in QGIS/other) work? There are also commands/plugins that can automatically package all relevant files for a map into a single file for distribution. | |

| Apr 30, 2015 at 21:50 | comment | added | Michael Stimson | Just send two shapefiles, if it must be one file then zip it with a suitable utility like winZip, 7-Zip.. CAD files can also contain multiple geometry types.. but the question is why is it important to have multiple geometry types in one single 'feature class'? Perhaps if we knew where you were going with this we could help a bit more; it would also help if we could understand what GIS software you and you colleague have. | |
