[Qgis-user] ArcGIS Layer File

[Carol Kraemer]

Ross,

You will need to create custom symbols either by using the QGIS symbols or
by going through some steps to create custom symbols using ArcGIS symbology
to bring it into QGIS. I wrote a blog post on this not too long ago that
may help you decide what you would prefer to do in your case.

Hope it helps!
