Hello friends, Newbie here. I've been using Arcmap most of the time for all my Map data but just recently i encountered files from InfoCAD software, is there any programs or methods to directly convert these infocad files to Arcmap?

Does InfoCAD have the ability to either export as a DXF file type or "save as" such?
What file formats does InfoCAD support? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

i'm not really sure about this whole infocad thing. It's my first time to encounter these files. Here are the file extensions: county.ele county.fig county.fm1 county.fm2 county.lay county.mio county.mtx county.sty county.txt county.prj county. (config settings) county. (MacPaint image) 14 file under the same file name. anybody know how to open these files? |

I meant the file extension that a drawing is saved to. Is it included in the list you provided?
Do you have the translator module? If so you can output a file in DXF file format which AutoCAD, via the DXFIN command, can open. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

| the drawing file is not included and this made it even harder to determine which program owns the file. I can compare this whole to shapefile on ArcGIS without the .mxd |

Do you at least know what extensions ArcMap can work with? I'm not finding a lot of useful information about InfoCAD. Who did you get the InfoCAD files from? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

I try to add these files into an open ArcMap (as new layer) but it was not recognized. |

It's old data in a form you can't use at the moment. Is there anyone you can talk to where you got the original data from? Have you found any information on InfoCAD?
Where in the Phillipines are you located?
What company do you work for? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

That's what I thought also when i received the files. I don't even know that time there's a program called "InfoCAD".  |

Then you aren't located in Manila?

You got to be kidding me? You live in the Philippines yet you're doing the tax mapping for Georgia, U.S.A.? I could go off on a real tirade here but I'll hold my tongue. Good luck getting it all worked out. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

OK. Let me just be clear about this. I'm not mad at you. If you need help with something I'll do my best to assist you any way I can. What I'm mad about is your company back in the U.S. shipping work out of the country while we have 14 million+ people out of work and the unemployment rate is above 9%. Your company is making a pretty penny on this contract with the state of Georgia and I have my doubts as to whether you are being paid a salary equivalent to someone back in the U.S. doing the same type of work. My bet is your company is pocketing the difference and cooking the books so to speak to make it appear as though the profit margin is thin thus avoiding paying their fair share of taxes on the profits. I'm mad at your company and the situation this puts everyone in but not at you. Are we clear? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.
