However, when I choose the .asc-file in the save as, the program always still adds ..txt extenstion(yes double dots!) . When I then try to add the ..txt-file&nbsp; in ArcMap it doest work. I guess .txt-files don't work to load as layers. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I then tried to change the extentsions in windows explorer to .asc and then add the data. I can load it in my data frame but it all behaves very strange, only apperas in certain zoom-levels etc.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>In ArcGIS 9.3.1 it is possible to choose the .asc-extenstion directly in the tool, and it works fine. How can I do this in ArcGIS10? Has anyone experienced the same problem and have a solution?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Karin Henrikson</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>WSP Sweden</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 12 Jan 2011 14:40:59 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/convert-grid-to-ascii-with-asc-etention-it-doesnt/m-p/244912#M13892 KarinHenrikson 2011-01-12T14:40:59Z Re: Convert Grid to ASCII with .asc-etention It doesnt work in ArcGIS10 https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/convert-grid-to-ascii-with-asc-etention-it-doesnt/m-p/244913#M13893 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>My solution when I tried again, was to change the ..txt just to .asc, and then calculate the statistics.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Another problem that apperad was that although my GRID was a 32 bit floating point, ArcMap read the asc-file it like an 32 bit integer.
