Tips

  • If you need to open .e00 files, ArcGIS Pro cannot open them directly. Here are two methods to convert them:
    • Use ArcMap, which is installed on the lab computers. ArcMap is part of ArcGIS Desktop.
    • Use Autodesk 3d Map, which is also installed on the lab computers. You can also install the software on your personal computer by obtaining it from the Autodesk Education site.
