Opening GRD files in Arc Map 10.8

DavidEdwards

Hi all,

I am having problems importing GRD files into my Arc Map 10.8. I have found this plugin but it doesn't seem to be compatible with this version. I tried it anyway but hasn't made any difference. Have any of you come across this and found a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Hi David,

The latest version of Target for ArcMap (v9.8) is not officially supported on ArcMap version 10.8. Best practice would be to stick with the official system requirements for Target for ArcMap version 9.8, which support ArcMap version 10.7.x, until we are able to fully test Target on version 10.8.

You can also check out this article for some suggestions that may help: https://my.seequent.com/support/knowledgebase/kA0a0000000siufCAA

Hi Sarah,

I don't actually have the target add on at the moment. I am trying to plot soil grid files. I will take a look at your suggestions and see if I can find a solution.

Thank you for getting back to me on this

Hi David,
Without Target for ArcMap - or the free Plugin for ArcMap - you will not be able to open or view Geosoft GRD files in ArcMap. The Geosoft grid format (.grd) is not natively supported in ArcMap, so we provide a plugin to support opening these files for our customers. You can download the free plugin from here but beware that the latest supported version is 10.7:
