FAQ
BIN to DXF Conversion
What are BIN files?
BIN is a proprietary binary grid format developed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to distribute regional and national geoid height models, such as GEOID12B, GEOID18, and USGG2012. A file of this type stores continuous arrays of geoid-ellipsoid separations used to convert ellipsoidal heights obtained from GPS/GNSS measurements into orthometric heights (elevations above sea level). The format is completely uncompressed and structured strictly into fixed-length records without internal metadata tags. Spatial properties, including geographic boundaries, cell spacing, and grid dimensions, are defined entirely within a standardized binary file header, allowing geodetic software to compute precise height transformations across specific geographic regions.
What are DXF files?
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a format associated with AutoCAD, a popular program used for computer-aided design by engineers, architects and other professionals in the field of building design and construction. The DXF format was developed in the early 1980s by Autodesk with the purpose of increasing the interoperability between AutoCAD and other CAD or advanced image design programs. It supports 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings, and can be opened using a wide array of image processing programs.
