Technical note

ACE2 to IGES: what carries over and what does not

Geospatial coordinates are absolute positions on the earth, and they are large: a projected easting runs to six or seven digits, while latitude and longitude are small decimals. IGES expects a drawing laid out near its own origin in millimetres or inches. The geometry itself converts correctly, but it can land tens of kilometres from 0,0, or arrive at a scale where an entire county is forty units across. Zoom to extents first, then measure one known distance before dimensioning anything. ACE2 is made of pixels and IGES stores geometry, so the conversion traces the image into real lines, arcs and polylines. The result is editable in CAD: entities can be selected, snapped to and measured, rather than a bitmap wrapped inside an IGES container, which is what a viewer or a lightweight converter usually produces. It is still derived geometry, so expect contours rather than a structured drawing. Dimensions, blocks and meaningful layer names were never in the ACE2 to begin with.

Map Data Workflow

From map data to a working drawing

Site plans, utility routes and parcel boundaries often start out as ACE2 and end up in IGES. reaConverter turns the layers into drawing entities in batch, so a full project folder moves across in one run.

  • Convert every layer in a folder to IGES with the same settings
  • Go the other way too, from DWG to Shapefile, when the GIS team needs the drawings back
  • Render the same data to PDF for a quick review copy
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

Security was our top concern when evaluating file conversion tools. reaConverter’s offline mode and role-based access controls let us lock it down for sensitive environments. No unexpected network calls or bloat — just clean, fast conversions. Even passed our pen-testing scans without a hitch.

FAQ

ACE2 to IGES Conversion

What are ACE2 files?

ACE2 is a raw binary raster format used to distribute the Altimeter Corrected Elevations (Version 2) global Digital Elevation Model (DEM), developed through a synergistic fusion of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) dataset and multi-mission Satellite Radar Altimetry. Distributed primarily as 15 by 15 degree geographic tiles, a file of this type contains matrix elevations with spatial resolutions available at 3, 9, and 30 arc-seconds, as well as 5 arc-minutes. The format inherently lacks embedded geospatial metadata, meaning its exact georeferencing and spatial bounds are determined entirely by standard filename conventions referencing the southwestern edge of the southwestern-most pixel. Native compliance allows these files to be seamlessly integrated into specialized environmental, climate, and terrain modeling software.

What are IGES files?

IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is a widely used file format for exchanging 2D and 3D CAD data between different design and engineering software. It supports wireframe, surface, and solid models, making it a common standard in mechanical, aerospace, and automotive industries.
