SHP can either be a shape file or an uncompiled font file: confirm by opening it in Windows Notepad.

It is a shapefile, a geographical map of an oficial website of the city of São Paulo, which indicates that you should open with AutoCAd. I could not open with notepad windows.

Civil3D can import them if they are the correct format first; MAP3D should too, check in MAP3D Help if there is a specific version format requirement first.

There is no specific version, Map3D/Civil3D can open just about any geospacial shapefile as long as all the files are there. There needs to be XXX.shp, XXX.shx, XXX.dbf and maybe XXX.prj (XXX = File name of the shape file)

AutoCAD Map3D or Civil3D can import the geospatial files with the MAPIMPORT command, standard AutoCAD can not with out an add-on, such as ArcGIS for AutoCAD  or Mapworks from Dotsoft.

Hi,

>> I tried using both softgware open shp file extension and could not

"Could not" does not give us any possibility to help as we don't see your screen and so ..

• Which commands did you try to get the SHP data opened?
• And when you tried them what response did you get from AutoCAD Map 3D or Civil 3D?

If you have Map3D and/or Civil3D you can use commands _MAPIMPORT or _MAPCONNECT, it depends what you want to do with the data too.

And in case it's a GIS-dataset: have you verified that besides of the SHP file you also have a *.SHX and a *.DBF file (with the same name as the *.SHP) as all three files together is one dataset (and can't exist alone).

Sorry that I don't understand that.

Is there anything you miss now?

The link you show does not work, error 404.

Hi,

sorry, the link does not give me any information about your situation (maybe because I don't know Portuguese language and so can't navigate through the site).

Let us know what files you have, what succeeded with _MAPIMPORT (as you wrote above) and what failed or what are you missing now.

I accessed all the information needed by AutoCad Map 3D. I used the "mapconnect" command. It was necessary unzip files first, so they could be identified by AutoCad Map.

Thank you very much.

I have licence for using AutoCad 2016 Student. I have 30 days for using trial of the AutoCad Map 3D. To continue using this sofware, I can get the Audo Cad Map Student? or I need to buy one of them now?

Hi,

if you are student you can access all products (I think all products, but I'm not 100% sure about "really all products"), but for Map 3D you can get a license in the same way you've got it for AutoCAD.
