Tips

    are two methods

    is one method 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.
