Here is a table of file extensions and their functions:
Extention | File Name | Description |
---|---|---|
.1 | 1 FILE | |
.94 | 94 FILE | |
.OCX | ACTIVE X CONTROL | |
Adobe Acrobat Document | ||
.EXE | APPLICATION | |
.DLL | APPLICATION EXTENSION | |
.ASC | ASCII Grid Files | WMS can import ARC/INFO® ASCII grid for use as a background DEM. Since it is a simple file format, other digital elevation data can be formatted in the same way and then imported into WMS using the Import Grid command in the DEMs menu. |
.BASIN | BASIN FILE | |
.BSN | BSN FILE | |
.INI | CONFIGURATION SETTINGS | |
.CSE | CSE FILE | |
.DAT | DAT FILE | |
.DBF | DBF FILE | |
.DDF | USGS DEM | |
.DEM | USGS DEM | |
.DLG | Digital Line Graph | The DLG to Feature Arcs option allows a Digital Line Graph file to be imported and points connected into a series of arcs. USGS DLG files, like DEMs, can be downloaded via the Internet and are available for many parts of the US. |
.DSS | HEC Data Storage System files | This format is used for importing and exporting time series and XY series data to and from HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, and other HEC software. |
.DTED | DTED Grid | |
.DTM | This file format is no longer supported. If you are interested in using this file format, contact the WMS developers. | |
.DWG | CAD Files | CAD files may also be imported and then converted to feature objects, TINs, or simply used to enhance the display of a project. |
.DXF | CAD Files | |
.ERR | ERR FILE | |
.EX_ | EX_ FILE | |
.F01 | F01 FILE | |
.FAC | FAC FILE | |
.FBC | FBC FILE | |
.FDR | FDR FILE | |
.FLT | FLT FILE | |
.G01 | GO1 FILE | |
.GDM | GDM FILE | |
.GGD | GRASS ASCII grid | |
.GMT | GMT FILE | |
.HC1 | HC1 FILE | |
.HDR | NED GRIDFLOAT or BIL Header | This is the format that should be used from the USGS's National Elevation Data set (NED). The default at this site is Arc/Info grid, but you should modify your request to the grid float format. The BIL format can also be used. |

.HTM | HTML DOCUMENT | |
.ID | ID FILE | |
.IMG | IMG FILE | |
.INP | INP FILE | |

.PKG | MICROSOFT DEVELOPER EXTENSION | |
.DOC | MISCOSOFT WORD DOCUMENT | |
.COM | MS-DOS APPLICATION | |
.BAT | MS-DOS BATCH FILE | |
.NET | NET FILE | ARC/INFO TIN - This particular format saves node (vertex) coordinates, a list of edges and a list of triangles, making it possible to restore the TIN topology in WMS exactly as it was in ARC/INFO |
.O01 | O01 FILE | |
.LIB | OBJECT LIBRARY | |
.OCR | OCR LIBRARY | |
.OUT | OUT FILE | |
.P01 | P01 FILE | |

.SDAT | SDAT FILE | |
.SHP | Shapefiles | |
.SHR | SHR FILE | |
.SHX | SHX FILE | |
.IDX | SQL SERVER REPLICATION SNAPSHOT INDEX SCRIPT | |
.STO | STO FILE | |
.SUP | WMS Superfile | Besides the tools in WMS for editing data imported from shapefiles, a special extension for ArcView has been created which allows you to create the outlets, streams, and basins themes, reorder streams, rename attributes, and then export to a WMS/ArcView super file which will allow you to open all three themes by importing the super file. This extension is placed in the wmshydro directory (under the main wms directory) when installing WMS. It is also available on the WMS website and has a separate document describing its usage. In order to be activated in ArcView you must move the extension file (.avx) to the Ext32 directory found under the ArcView® installation directories. |
.TBL | TBL FILE | |
.TDAT | TDAT FILE | |
.TDN | TDN FILE | |
.TXT | TEXT DOCUMENT | |
.THY | THY FILE | |
.TIF | TIF Image Data | A TIFF file can be imported and registered so that it appears as a "backdrop" in WMS or mapped to TIN data when shading. |
.TIN | TIN FILE | |
.TRE | TRE FILE | |
.WDM | .WDM FILE | |
.WPR | WMS PROJECT FILE | |
.XY | XY FILE | |
.XYZ | XYZ Data | Choosing this option allows you to read in a space-delimited file containing x, y, and z coordinate values. The Triangulate command in the TINs menu can then be used to create a TIN from the xyz data. The file must be space delimited in order for WMS to import it. |
