Geographic Information Systems Asked by AvidDabbler on August 29, 2020
I am about to start a project with a number of people for a nonprofit organization. I am wanting to create the files in QGIS, but some of the people that I am working with are city officials and might feel more comfortable using ArcGIS for Desktop as opposed to QGIS.
If I were to create project files in QGIS could others open up them up in ArcGIS for Desktop? Or is there a way for me to export it to a file that could be opened in ArcGIS for Desktop? Or maybe there is file conversion plug-in that could be used?
No it's not possible.
Like PolyGeo said you could write a conversion script using ArcPy that reads the QGIS project file (which is just XML) and load each layer. There would be a bit of work but you might even be able to match some of the styling. However there would be a lot of effort in this and it might not be worth it for a single project.

Well. I asked this question 7 years ago and it turns out someone out there has found an answer to converting MXD's to Qgis. Pretty exciting to see how far we have come.
