[Qgis-user] mxd on Qgis

[Marco Lechner - FOSSGIS e.V.]

hi,

as gary wrote mxd is a closed binary format, but don't forget: a
mxd-file only stores the map-projekt (which laysrs should be on the map
and how to display them by colour, linestrength, ...). U can easily
create a similar projekt in QGIS using the same layers and layout like
the author of the mxd-file and save it in a qgis-project-file.
