Import Esri Shape files (.shp)

Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute) shapefiles (.shp) use a popular geospatial vector data format for geographic information systems. Esri Shapefiles are used to import point, line, polygon, and feature data into your project.

To avoid errors when importing data from an Esri shapefile, the coordinate system specified in your project must match the coordinate system specified in the shapefile.

1. Follow the general steps in Import Files.

2. Specify options in the LandXML Reader Settings Editor’s Import Settings.

3. Click OK.

4. Complete additional steps in Import Files.

5. Click Finish.
