Inputting E00 file to ArcGIS Pro

Question

Previously, to input E00 file to ArcMap, "Import from E00" tool, then "Feature Class to Feature Class" tool was used.

To input E00 file to ArcGIS Pro, "Quick Import" tool was used. However, there is error "Esri Geodatabase Writer: Feature Type Definition "xyz" was requested, but not defined. Please visit https://www.safe.com/support". Although arc feature could be displayed on Pro, point and polygon features appear missing.

Spatial ETL tool (to convert E00 to shp) and Feature Class to Geodatabase tool were then used. This time, arc, point, and polygon feature are present. However, there appears to be missing fields ( in the attribute table. "Polygonid", “Scale” and “Angle” attribute fields are missing when using the Spatial ETL tool.

Any leads on how to input E00 to Pro and how to preserve all attributes would be appreciated

Hi @Priya_Das,

There is no issue with using Import from E00 and Feature Class to Feature Class tool using ArcMap.

However, there is no luck in using the Quick Import tool (missing feature and error in tool) and Spatial ETL tool (feature missing attribute fields) on ArcGIS Pro. Since ArcMap will retire next year, the user would like to find a workflow to input E00 to ArcGIS Pro.

ArcGIS Pro does not natively support importing E00 files. To work with E00 data in ArcGIS Pro, you’ll need to convert it using alternative methods.

Import an ArcInfo interchange file (E00) in ArcGIS: https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/how-to-import-an-arcinfo-interchange-file-e00-in-arcgis-000004705
