topic convert coverage 'arc' file to geodatabase in Data Management Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/convert-coverage-arc-file-to-geodatabase/m-p/195990#M11201 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>So I'm trying to convert an 'Arc' feature class that's held within a coverage to a geodatabase feature class. The coverages also contain tic, point, and annotation features, all of which convert with a problem. If I create the geodatabase and then import the coverage files, they all copy over, except the 'arc' file. The tool does not tell me the 'arc' file hasn't copied, good job I kept the coverage! I have also tried: Copy, Copy Features, and Feature to Polygon... none of them worked. The error message I get is:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>ERROR 000732: Input Features: Arc does not exist or is not supported</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now here's the strange thing... the arc feature class won't copy over in Python or in Arc Catalog, but if I use the exact same parameters in ArcMap I can get the arc feature class into the geodatabase without a problem... Another ESRI glitch???</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So anyone have a fix for me? All my service packs are up-to-date, just haven't converted from 10.0 to 10.1 yet...</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>UPDATE: </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I can use the Feature Class to Geodatabase tool in ArcMap and it converts, no problem... I can run the same tool in model builder (within ArcMap), no problem. When I save the model as a script and run it, then it refuses. Slowly but surely driving me insane...</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 04 Sep 2012 18:55:16 GMT SamCoggins1 2012-09-04T18:55:16Z convert coverage 'arc' file to geodatabase https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/convert-coverage-arc-file-to-geodatabase/m-p/195990#M11201 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>So I'm trying to convert an 'Arc' feature class that's held within a coverage to a geodatabase feature class.

This extension has only two tools within it, the Quick Import and Quick Export. You are able to download it for a 60 day trial, this allows you to convert all aspects of a coverage into and from a Geodatabase, which should include the "Arcs" which is what you are looking for. Please let us know if you have any further questions or issues. Gracias, Sam!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>ArcGIS Data Interoperability</SPAN><BR /><A href="http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/extensions/datainteroperability">http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/extensions/datainteroperability</A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>An overview of the Data Interoperability toolbox</SPAN><BR /><A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//001600000002000000">http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//001600000002000000</A></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Oct 2012 11:11:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/convert-coverage-arc-file-to-geodatabase/m-p/195991#M11202 JuanLuera 2012-10-16T11:11:36Z
