Add Import from older file formats

LyonMNGIS — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 18:45:51 GMT

Please consider adding the ability to import older file formats such as personal Geodatabases, Coverages, E00 files, etc. This will help us migrate from ArcMAP to ArcGIS Pro.

Note: I realize there is an interoperability extension but it seems awkward to have an extension to import data that worked with ArcMAP. It is also useful whenever we come across long lost files from old projects.

Thanks!

At least make import71.exe and a workflow posted somewhere (copy features from coverage folder). At this point there is no easy workaround outside of interop extension which is very complex and of course requires an extra license.

Yes! Coverages, E00 and personal geodatabases!

AGREE - it would be extremely helpful import older file formats such as personal Geodatabases, Coverages, E00 files, etc particularly when we have to work with legacy data/files!
