Hi,

I'm trying to import a GDB file with 9.182.1. It does nothing and no error is reported. Nothing special in the log.

The GDB loads fine in ArcGIS 3.5 and QGIS 3.42. I have no problem usually to load GDBs with 9.

What could be wrong ?

Thank you.

Mike Pelletier

I've had similar trouble with GDBs that have topology applied to them in ESRI. Is that the case here?

Hello Mike. Not the case here.

My workflow is using Manifold 9, QGIS and ArcGIS Pro. The file seems to have become a mix of GDB and GeoPackage somehow. I exported it as a GeoPackage again and then I have been able to load it in M9 again.

Also, someone told me that exporting into a GDB from Manifold 9, then deleting features from ArcGIS Pro in this GDB and importing it back in M9 can cause the issue I reported. I think this is what I did. Deleting the mdf_id field prior to reimport seems to be a solution.

I suggest you zip up the folder and send it into tech@manifold.net.
