[Qgis-user] Geosoft Grid Files

[Benoit de Cabissole]

Hi, 

Although the .grd format used by Geosoft nowadays is proprietary, you
can use the free viewer, as said below, to export the file into .gxf
(the Geosoft grid exchange format) and open it in many, many
applications, including QGIS. 

A word of caution: you must be sure that the orientation of the Geosoft
grid is set to 1, otherwise the GDAL GXF importer will not work
correctly (at least, as at the last time I've used it, long time ago!). 

cheers,
Benoit
