Extracts and imports a zipped data package that was downloaded from a Geoscience Data Portal. This tool automatically opens when you have chosen to download any data from a Geoscience Data Portal, or it can be run from the Add to Map section of the Target tab.
After finding, selecting and downloading spatial data from one of the Geoscience Data portals, the Import Data Package tool will automatically open to help you import the data into your current Target for ArcGIS Pro project. All datasets in the download package will be unzipped and placed in the Output folder. Any Geosoft rasters (.grd files) will be automatically converted to Esri raster datasets and saved in the selected geodatabase. Shapefiles will be added to the current map or scene, but not to the selected geodatabase.
