I was reading .   It looks as though this only works with ArcGIS 10.   I would like to do this, but am unable to install things on the computer that has ArcGIS.   Is there a way to import to QGIS without using mxd2qgis (that requires ArcGIS 10)?

I recently tried to use QGIS and I wondered if you can convert a draft ArcGIS map (*.mxd file) into a QGIS project (*.qgs file).   This would avoid thematize the entire project.

I have been able to import into QGIS a set of raster topographic maps and the associated DEM raster maps. It registered the two for me. From there I have calculated the associated slope raster map. Now I want to export the data to a CSV file (or similar format) for processing in a program that I am writing. Ideally the data would be structured in a way that would permit me to query for the slope and elevation data for any given point on the map.   If this is possible, then how do I do it?  Specifically, I have been able to export the data (slope &amp; DEM) to two different CSV files. However I would prefer the data in one file if possible.

I have a whole bunch of GPX files that I need to load into QGIS and loading them one at a time using the GPS plugin is a bit painful.  It will not allow one to select multiple files -- is there another way?  I did find this:  but I need to figure out a lot more about PostGIS and GDAL before trying that approach.  BTW I am using Mac version of QGIS -- just realised that this may be OS related

I am running arcmap 10.2.2 but need to open an mxd saved using 10.3. I do not have access to 10.3. I have an arcpy tool which will do the conversion but it is not working from within 10.2.2.   Does anyone know if it is possible to do this from within 10.2.2. I get an error message saying I do not have write access to the file.  The script is as follows:   import arcpy, sys, os, string   mxdList = string.split(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0), ";")  outloc = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) version = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)  suffix = "_"+ version.replace(".", "")  for item in mxdList:      item = item.strip('\'')      mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(item)      base = os.path.basename(item)      base = os.path.splitext(base)[0] + suffix + os.path.splitext(base)[1]      mxd.saveACopy(outloc + os.sep + base, version)     arcpy.AddMessage(os.path.basename(item) + " has been converted")

I have downloaded raster map data from ONS, the data has come in the form of two files... one is full of  .tlw files and the other is full of .tab files...   How do I import it into a raster layer to ArcCatalog?

I am trying to install 64-bit processing to ArcGIS 10.2, but the ESRI .  One similar question on this exchange  that shows an option to include this, but my setup installation program (which I downloaded) does not show this installation window, but instead goes straight to selecting features to install as shown below.  I can't find any other documentation for running 64-bit geoprocessing on ArcGIS version 10.2.  Can anyone show me how to do this? or is it best to just try to install the service pack 1 version of it?

I have no skills in GIS, "map-making," or any other map program. Been a county planner for 25 yrs, where there was always a "drafting" staff.  I'm in another agency now and need to be able to produce basic and attractive site plans and area maps.  Is QGIS the right tool? I saw on a planners' website that it's free to download, along with GIMP and SketchUP.  I need some genuine advice on this, not something impossibly technical for my situation, nor a smug brush-off.

I can't seem to get a response form NVS about their  add-on, but they did send me a fixed-up version that I have now been able to install.    However, I cannot find any associated toolbox.    I have tried System Toolbox, My Toolbox, looking in the installation directory, and searching in my default geodatabase, but I can't find a way to add this tool (or toolbox) to my GIS.    Has anyone else been able to successfully install the Vector Stream Tool into ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Desktop (ArcMap), and might anyone have suggestions?

I'm looking for a good way to learn more ArcGIS techniques than I came across in my undergraduate Geography degree to really use the power of the software.   Browsing around and asking questions on this site has helped quite a bit e.g. I did not realised that you could link dataframes together, or even that you could have multiple data frames ([see ).   Similarly, I suspect there are lots of ArcGIS features that could really make my life easier, but that I just don't know about e.g. geodatabases.  What I'm really looking for are tutorial recommendations, in any medium (books, videos, websites, whatever). Obviously free or cheap are better, but I do have a budget for books as part of my PhD. As I probably hinted at above, I'm more interested in general usage of ArcGIS rather than specific tools (like DEM processing or route-finding), and something that is relatively structured would be good, so that I can work through it in a sensible order.  I know this is a bit of a tall order, but any ideas?

I installed QGIS 3.10 standalone version today and I know it has a new feature introduced in this version to export GeoPDF. But for some reason, it is greyed out.

Nico Burgerhart made a fantastic script called "Batch export MXD to PDF" back in 2008.          Any ideas how to implement it in ArcGIS 10? Something using Python perhaps?      Data Driven Pages does not have anything comparable that i could find.  Here's the steps in read me text file which doesn't jive with ArcGIS 10's new menu bar:  Tool: Batch export MXD to PDF Purpose: Saves all MXDs in the selected directory to PDFs in the selected output folder Author: Nico Burgerhart (nicoburgerhart@hotmail.com) Date: 31 Jan. 2007 INSTALLATION NOTES ------------------ 1.

I want to append some data to a layer in my PostGIS DB using a shapefile, but when I use the Import layer/file tool in QGIS, it doesn't allow me to choose the append option.  Why is this and how do I get it to allow me to append?

I noticed that the heatmap calculation on the new upgrade version of qgis is given the raster map without any coordinate system.   Have you got the same problem?

I've downloaded the SVG icon pack from   Using the Import from URL has never worked for me, so how do I import these symbols into QGIS?   As far as I can tell I need an .XML defining each symbol.

Through my frustration of not finding the post-installation wizard with ArcSDE 10.1 and being unsuccessful with the command line tool to start an SDE service on our SDE databases, I found I was able to access the databases and copy/past/add features/delete features/etc. all through direct connections to our SQL Server 2012 machine. This was WITHOUT ArcSDE running.   So... The question is, why do I need to go through the trouble of trying to get the SDE services to run if I can manage our databases through the Desktop tools? I was even able to create an enterprise geodatabase and verified that all of the necessary business tables were created. I have even recreated all our map services in ArcGIS Server 10.1 with direct connect and the web editing is perfectly working.   Perhaps I'm missing something...  UPDATE:  As indicated in the  topic:     "The recommended method to access enterprise geodatabases is to   connect directly from ArcGIS clients. If you only use direct   connections to your geodatabase, you do not have to install the ArcSDE   application server."   If you need to edit settings in the ArcSDE system tables, though, you should still install the command line tools included with the application server. I don't think editing system tables directly through SQL is supported technically.

I have been trying to teach myself QGIS by using this forum and others to help. Most of my questions can be answered by downloading plugins that are available through 3rd party repositories but for some reason I am not able to connect with these. Anyone have any ideas why this is the case?

What is the smoothest route, the easiest user experience, to add  files to ArcMap?  Ideally, I'd like to interact with .gpx with the same facility as .shp, being able drag'n'drop onto the map canvas and so on. Ultimately the results will be feature classes in a file-gdb but shapefile is an acceptable intermediate.
