FAQ
ASC to DRW Conversion
What are ASC files?
The ASC (Esri ASCII Grid) format stores raster geospatial data as plain text. Developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), it describes a rectangular grid of cells using a short header — number of columns and rows, coordinates of the lower-left corner, cell size and a no-data value — followed by the cell values themselves, written row by row as ordinary numbers. Because the entire grid is human-readable text, ASC is widely used for exchanging elevation models, slope maps and other continuous surfaces between GIS packages that would otherwise share no common binary format.
What are DRW files?
DRW stands for "Drawing" and represents a vector graphics format associated primarily with Corel Draw, but also with other advanced graphics design programs, including Microsoft Picture It!, Paint Shop Pro, Micrografx, Igrafx etc. The DRW format is supported both on Windows and Mac applications (on MacDraw and AppleWorks) and stores images and drawings constructed with lines or paths, instead of dots.
