Creating layer files for OS MasterMap data in a File Geodatabase

TimLangner — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 09:49:23 GMT

Don't know whether to ask this hear or in the ArcGIS Pro forum.

I have some MasterMap data which I wish to style up using the default styles.

ESRI layer files are available here:

GitHub - OrdnanceSurvey/OSMM-Topography-Layer-stylesheets: SQL scripts & cartographic stylesheets for OS MasterMap Topog…

However, when I take the Schema 9 files and match them to a File Geodatabase using ArcMap 10.6.1, it says some fields are missing. The file Geodatabase was created using the UK Data Loader part of the Data Interoperability tool by a colleague.

Having managed to get the layer files to load in ArcGIS 2.6, please can someone explain how one gets the symbols to display correctly?

Is there an OS font that needs to be installed and if so, how does one get hold of this?

I can't get the schema 9 layer files from the OS Git Hub to load into ArcMap 10.8.1 or ArcPro.. both complain about the file being invalid.. if anyone has a working layer file for mastermap topo it would be great to have a copy 🙂
