[GRASS-user] Re: Issues With ArcGIS Data Files

[Patrick S.]

Hi Rich,

In case you don't know: .lyr is the layout-fileformat of ArcGIS. It will thus
"only" contain colorinformation for visualisation of the layers, but no data and might not be essential for your work.

    I've a problem that I hope folks here can help me solve. A client sent me
a dvd with data from their ArcGIS system, but some files are in the
proprietary .lyr format and some of the .shp files are empty. This is in two
of seven subdirectories. The data are proprietary and company confidential.

    Is there any tool other than ArcGIS that can extract usable data from a
.lyr layer file?

    The empty files will need to be resent to me.

Thanks,

Rich
