Another way is to import an existing map. <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> allows you to import maps from<br />

map documents, map packages, and map files. Each of these has unique file extensions, as<br />

shown in the following table:<br />

Item File extension Software used to create<br />

Map document MXD<br />

ArcMap<br />

Map packages MPK or MPKX ArcMap, ArcCatalog, or <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Pro</strong><br />

Map files MAPX <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Pro</strong><br />

When you import an existing map from one of these files, the new map it creates in your<br />

project will contain the layers along with all of their settings, such as symbology and<br />

labels, that were in the map you imported. This provides a way to help populate a new<br />

project with items quickly, so you can get to work faster. This is especially true for those<br />

that are migrating to <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> from <strong>ArcGIS</strong> for Desktop.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
