How to import from E00 Interchange File with ArcGIS 10.8?

Geographic Information Systems Asked on December 3, 2021

I have a dataset in old ArcInfo E00 Interchange format. In the past I could extract the data from this by using the "Import From Interchange File" tool in the Coverage toolbox, however this toolbox doesn’t appear to be present in ArcGIS 10.8.

I searched around for more info and found the ArcGIS Coverage toolbox licensing page that said I needed ArcInfo Workstation installed to use these old tools. Unfortunately I don’t have access to ArcInfo Workstation anymore.

Import From Interchange File – Requires ArcInfo Workstation installed

How does one go about extracting from E00 in more recent versions of ArcMap that don’t have ArcInfo Workstation?

One Answer

ArcGIS Desktop (but not ArcGIS Pro) has a script tool included, called "Import from E00" - it can be found in the Conversion Tools > To Coverage toolset.

enter image description here

Just select the E00 file and give an output location and filename, and the tool will output a coverage.

Once the coverage has been produced, you can then use the Import Feature Class to Geodatabase (etc.) tool to convert the coverage into a geodatabase feature class. This can then be used (edited, etc.) in both ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro.
