Without .gdb support from you I can’t support ArcGis files.
This the summary mail with ArgGis software:
Hi Yigal.
Thanks you very much for the meeting.
1.Regarding:
.ATX + .CPG (1+2), you gave me a sample of shapefile containing these files , that are not mandatories, and it supported in our system.
.MPKX / .LPKX /.LYRX (3+4+5).
.IFC (6)
.Horizon (7)
.DWJ (7)
2.We need to buy ArcGIS Pro, costs 1100 & every year, includes support how to use ArcGIS Pro application.
The license comes with API in C# .Net 8, moving to .Net 10 in May.
If we need help to use their API , we need to pay extra support per hour.
- Can you please pass on our the solution we passed together and see if it ok (Solution to support it Sasa’s GIS converter tool)?
4.What about .horizon, we forgot to talk about it.
5.What about .dwj, we forgot to talk about it.
The list of extensions:
1. .ATX
An .atx file is an attribute index file used by Esri File Geodatabases (.shapefile).
Stores attribute index structures for a field in:
It is not gis format, it’s additional files for format.
2. .CPG
A .cpg file is a code page file for a Shapefile.
It is not a mandatory file.
Stores the character encoding for text fields in the .dbf attribute table
Ensures non-ASCII characters (like accented letters, symbols, or non-Latin scripts) display correctly in GIS software
Typically contains a single line specifying the encoding, e.g., UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1.
3. .MPKX
Map Package
An ArcGIS Pro map package is a compressed file that contains a map and its associated data. It is designed to facilitate the sharing of maps and data between users or to archive work. A map package can include layers, their symbolization, labeling, table properties, and data
Solution to support it Sasa’s GIS converter tool.
It possible to extract map package with Arc GIS API + pass on the extracted content folders ,on each folder can be many layers=> and convert each layer with our Sasa’s GIS converter tool.
4. .LPKX
Layer Package
A layer package (.lpkx file) in ArcGIS is a file that contains both the layer properties and the dataset referenced by the layer. It allows you to save and share everything about a layer, including its symbology, labeling, field properties, and associated data. Layer packages can include multiple layers and can be directly added to maps by other users without requiring access to the original database or manual configuration of layer properties.

It possible to extract layer package with Arc GIS API => and convert each layer with our Sasa’s GIS converter tool.
5. .LYRX
Layer File
.lyrx file is a type of layer file used in ArcGIS Pro to save and share the properties of a layer, such as its symbology, labeling, and other settings. It is an updated format compared to the older .lyr file used in ArcGIS Desktop.
Solution to support it Sasa’s GIS converter tool.
No need any conversion , part of .MPKX and .LPKX.
6. .IFC
.ifc file is an Industry Foundation Classes file, used in BIM (Building Information Modeling).
· Stores 3D building and construction data: geometry, materials, components, and metadata
· An open standard maintained by building SMART International
· Designed for interoperability between BIM software like:
- Autodesk Revit
- ArchiCAD
- Tekla Structures
- Vectorworks
Solution to support it Sasa’s GIS converter tool.
It possible to extract .ifc to .gdb and from there to any formats.
7. .Horizon
Typically used in geological software to represent horizon surfaces.
8. .DWJ
A .dwg file is a drawing file format used by AutoCAD and other CAD software.
Stores vector graphics, 2D/3D geometry, annotations, and metadata
Widely used in engineering, architecture, and construction
Binary format developed by Autodesk
