Importing an ArcMap document

Import this map document if you previously used ArcMap and would like to transition your existing Map Exchange Documents (*.mxd) to access in ArcGIS Pro.

Note: You do not need to perform this step if you've never used the HxGN EAM GIS toolbar (you are implementing the ArcGIS Pro add-in for the first time) and do not have existing *.mxd files.
  1. Click Start > ArcGIS Pro.
  2. Select New > Map.
  3. Name the new project and select the location.
    Note: The default location of the map document is C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\ArcGIS\Projects\*.aprx.
  4. On the Insert tab, click Import Map.
  5. Navigate to the folder with existing .mxd files to select the file to import.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Name the .aprx file with a relevant map name.
  8. Click Save.
