Abstract

Based on the current situation of spatial data format conversion,data format conversion methods from MapGIS to ArcGIS are discussed,conversion differences of point,line and area elements are analyzed,data format conversion problems and solutions by using the conversion functions of software itself are discussed.Several conversion practices show that conversing by Shape file is the best way to realize data format conversion from MapGIS to ArcGIS,and perfect conversion effect needs to select one or a combination of several ways in accordance graphics own characteristics and conversion requirements,and combine with appropriate graphics editing.
