FAQ
ADV to MIF Conversion
What are ADV files?
ADV is a planning file of Sarine Advisor, software that diamond manufacturers use to decide how to cut a rough diamond. The file holds the three-dimensional model of the rough stone, the map of the inclusions inside it, and the plan for the polished diamonds that can be cut from it. With such a plan the cutter can compare several options for weight, clarity, cut, and symmetry, see how the finished stone will look, and print instructions for marking and sawing the rough. Sarine is an Israeli company that makes diamond scanning and planning systems. The same extension is also used by some unrelated files.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
