What is LPK file?
The LPK file extension stands for LPK, which is the Layer Package file format used by ArcGIS, an industry standard Geographic Information System (GIS) software developed by Esri. It is generally used to exchange vector, raster, geodatabase, and annotation layers between different desktop-based GIS programs, or to easily share ArcMap projects with others.

How to convert the file from 3DD to LPK?
To successfully convert the 3DD file to LPK, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.3DD). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case LPK (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than LPK).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. 3DD to LPK. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting 3DD files to LPK files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension LPK, while before this step we had the 3DD file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new LPK file, or not.
