Save Current Map as ArcGIS MXD

Use the ArcGIS Tools > Save Current Map as MXD menu option (geogxnet.dll(Geosoft.GX.SaveMapAsMXD;Run)*), to save your Map (*.map) file as an ArcGIS MXD (*.mxd) file.

This functionality is only available on systems where a licensed copy of the ArcGIS ArcView or the ArcGIS ArcEngine exists.

You can save the MXD in a version less than or equal to the version you have currently installed on your system.

Application Notes

*The GX tool will search in the "...\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \gx" folder. The GX.Net tools, however, are embedded in the geogxnet.dll located in the "...\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \bin" folder. If running this GX interactively, bypassing the menu, first change the folder to point to the "bin" folder, then supply the GX.Net tool in the specified format.

Only the visible groups and views will be saved to the MXD.

Groups in the Base View as well as 3D views will be turned into custom graphics in the MXD layout and data groups will be turned into custom layers. The Geosoft Plugin for ArcGIS or the Geosoft Extensions for ArcGIS products are necessary to open and use these MXDs in the ArcGIS Desktop Suite.
