GMS Project File
GMS can save entire projects as a project group file (*.gpr). This file will reference the location of all files (shapefiles, images, CAD files, etc.) used in the project. It is recommended that the project file be created where all of the external files are located. If the project file is moved, GMS will prompt for the location of any external files used in the project.
Import Formats
GMS can import various formats as documented on the File Import Wizard Supported File Formats page. Furthermore, GMS contains custom interfaces to import shapefiles, CAD data, USGS DEMs, GIS grids, GeoStudio files, and image files.
GMS Version 6.5 and Up
Starting at version 6.5 the GMS project file switched to a binary HDF5 format. The format is proprietary and not documented but the user can examine the contents of the project file using a free HDF5 browser application. Some things in the project file, like TINs and Meshes, follow the XMDF standard. Editing the HDF5 project file can corrupt it and make it unreadable by GMS and is highly discouraged.
Old GMS File Formats
This PDF file documents file formats used by GMS previous to version 6.5. Current versions of GMS can still read these files.
