E00 in ArcGIS Explorer Desktop

I would like to import E00 file format into ArcGIS Explorer Desktop, however it seems to be such an old file format that I can't find a way to do it. Is there a tool for converting it to a format that Explorer recognizes?

Use the interchange tool 😄

I have the same question (i.e., how to open E00 in Explorer). How can I convert these files. Where do I find the conversion tool?

Hi,

E00 files are indeed a very old format. You'll need to use ArcGIS Desktop for this: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001200000046000000.htm. That will give you either a "Coverage" or a "GRID" depending on whether the data is vector or raster I believe. From there you will need to convert the Coverage to for example a File Geodatabase which can be read by ArcGIS Explorer. In the case of a GRID file - you can either create a Layer File in ArcMap which references this GRID or alternatively convert to one of the many raster formats ArcGIS Explorer reads directly such as TIFF.

Cheers

Mike
