MapQonverter

The MapQonverter converts an ArcMap Project to a QGIS Project. The script is inspired by Mxd2Qgs from Allan Maungu.

System Requirements: at least ArcMap 10.4. While ArcMap 10.7 is fully tested

Installation

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/WhereGroup/mapqonverter.git

# Download Python package comtypes
pip install comtypes==1.1.7

⚠️ If you have more than one python version on your pc, be sure to install comtypes to the python version used by ArcMap - for example: C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7

  • Add toolbox "Mapqonverter.tbx" to ArcMap
  • Start script "ArcMap Project to QGIS project"
  • Choose filename and directory for QGIS-File
  • Export
  • Smile

Functionality

The following can be converted:

Legend

The legend, including Grouplayer and nested structures.

  • Because the structure is build from the LongName, two layers can't have the same name and be direct neighbours, sad.

DataFrames

  • Dataframes will be exported as Grouplayers.

Rasterlayer

  • Stretched
  • RGB Composite
  • Color-Map

Featurelayer

  • Marker
    • Simple-Marker
    • Character-Marker
  • Lines
    • Hash-Lines
    • Marker-Lines
    • Simple-Lines
    • Cartographic-Lines
  • Fills
    • Gradient-Fill
      • RadialFill is not yet supported.
    • Line-Fill
    • Marker-Fill
    • Random-Fill
    • Simple-Fill
    • Outlines -> QGIS Rand (Simple, Marker, Hashed)
  • Multi-Layer-Symbols
  • Unique-Values
  • Graduated-Colors / Graduated–Symbols

WMS-Layer

GeoDataBase-Annotation – Layer

Database-Layer

  • Just Postgresql is fully tested

Labels

  • Simple Labels are supported, for example city-/country-names. Complex logical expressions are hardly translatable from VBScript (ArcMap) zur QGIS Expressions Engine.

Layout

  • The Layout will be safed as "Imported Layout"
    • Basic NorthArrow will be exported
    • Legend
    • Polygone, Ellipses, Line-, and PolyLine-Elements
