Hi lists, This is a quick announcement of North Road's latest funding drive, which is targeted at development of an automated ESRI ArcGIS "LYR" and "MXD" to QGIS conversion tool.
Yes, you read that correctly... a completely automated tool to allow opening ESRI LYR files (including original symbology!) and MXD documents within QGIS! We're aiming for a deep integration here, so that end users will be able to interact with these file types via drag and drop, browser integration, etc. You can read the full campaign details and see some mockups here: https://north-road.com/2019/02/04/announcing-our-slyr-funding-drive/ If you're aware of any organisations out there who have been investigating a move to open source GIS, but are held back by the need to access existing ArcGIS LYR/MXD documents, please make them aware of this tool and the campaign. Regards, Nyall North Road _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
