KB10187 - Can I use the DK to read an E00 file or DXF and save the resultant file as a SHP file? Can I use the DK to convert between other vector formats?

Yes, certainly. The DK (v.9) can convert vector map data between any read-supported file type, e.g., SHP, E00, MIF/MID, TAB, DXF, DGN, DWG, GML, KML, JSON, S-57 VPF, DLG, SDTS, TIGER, OpenStreetMap, CSV, etc. or any supported SQL database layer file format into any write-supported file format, e.g., SHP, TAB, MIF, DXF, GML, JSON, DLG, or any write-supported SQL database layer format. The conversion is done using the DK ImportLayer or DK ExportLayer methods. The Import Layer method converts the source data into the format of the layer that the data is imported into. So the conversion of data from, for example, an E00 or DXF file into a SHP file, is just a mater of i) using the ImportLayer method to import the data from the EOO or DXF file into a SHP layer or ii) opening the E00 or DXF file as a layer and using the ExportLayer method to export data from the layer to a SHP file.

The DK Viewer sample, in DK sample set #3, demonstrates (with some limitations) the conversion from any read supported format to SHP, MIF, or DXF. Also refer to the MIF2SHP DK sample in DK sample set #1 for a demonstration of the conversion of data from the MIF file format into a SHP file.
