Inputting E00 file to ArcGIS Pro

gisuser12 — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 07:45:01 GMT

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

Supported formats with the Data Interoperability extension—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

is recommended unless you have access to ArcMap or the often recommended conversion utility or other GIS software

@DanPatterson

Indeed, E00 is listed as one of the supported formats. Given that ArcMap is going to be retired, the user would like to implement a ArcGIS Pro workflow and that the data would match 100%...

They would need the Data Interoperability extension then if they want to keep within the ArcGIS Pro environment. All other suggestions involve working outside it. Conversion of existing e00 files to a geodatabase would be necessary if they want to continue to use that data

Hi @gisuser12

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

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.

Hi @gisuser12

You can raise this with Esri technical support for this issue.
