You can either purchase a SLYR license to support these files, or alternatively wait for more objects to be released to the community edition and then re-try the conversion.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the MXD format, if any of these unsupported objects are present in an MXD then converting the whole document will fail.

Please note that not all MXD objects supported by the licensed SLYR edition (including annotations or graphics layers) can be converted using the community edition, but vector layers, raster layers and page layouts are fully supported.

Two weeks ago, we quietly released v6.0 of the #SLYR Community Edition - with MXD conversion features that allows you to convert #ArcMap #MXD projects to #QGIS projects.
We are stoked that it has already had over 7860 downloads! Hopefully we can beat last version's 98k downloads to 100k!!

Big thanks to Randal Hale rjhale1971.bsky.social at North River Geographic for your blog using SLYR to convert an #ArcGISPro template to #QGIS. This is exactly what we had in mind when designing it. Oh, and we’ve already fixed the issue with Dynamic Text—it’ll be in the next update shortly!

Hi All, Please help if you have a spare 15 minutes to help map out areas about impacted by bushfires.
Currently there is a 400 square kilometre fire burning out of control in rugged country in Victoria. OSGeo Oceania have created a number of HOTOSM projects that it would be great to have your help on. They are listed in the next 4 comments
