Hi all,
I'm having problems loading a gdb file into GM 14.
Error message I get is;

Unable to load overlay gdb
No feature classes with geometry found in Esri File Geodatabase.
OverlayFactory.cpp - 6649
Version: v14.2.0 (32-bit)
Build Time: May 21 2013 14:35:32



Now, I don't know if it is a problem with the dataset, or GM - anyone able to comment?

Cheers
Nick

    Nick,

    Do you have an Esri license (like ArcGis or ArcMap) on the machine you are running Global Mapper on? If not then the GDB import is limited to just those very limited set of GDB files that Esri provides a free library to read. If you do have a machine with an Esri license then you should also be able to load GDB files with raster and gridded elevation layers in them in addition to any vector data sets.

    Thanks,

    Hi Mike,
    thanks for your post - unfortunately I don't have ERSI licenses, hence using GM. I've been able to get the supplier of the data to send it to me as a vector dataset so got around the issue eventually,
    Cheers
