Technical note

BSQ to IGES: what to expect from the conversion

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. Lettering in the image is traced as shapes, not recognised as text. Every character arrives as an outline that can be scaled and edited like any other geometry, but not retyped, restyled or searched, and no font is attached to it. Titles and callouts on a scanned drawing usually have to be typed again in the IGES if they need to stay editable.

Map Data Workflow

From map data to a working drawing

Site plans, utility routes and parcel boundaries often start out as BSQ 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

BSQ to IGES Conversion

What are BSQ files?

BSQ is a raw binary raster format developed by ESRI to store multi-band geospatial data, such as multispectral satellite imagery, aerial photography, and thematic surface classifications. As an uncompressed layout where data is organized sequentially by entire spectral bands—writing the full spatial matrix of the first band before starting the second—a file of this type contains no internal metadata, georeferencing, or projection tags. To function properly within a geographic information system, a BSQ file requires a mandatory plain-text sidecar file with a .hdr extension that explicitly defines structural parameters like row and column counts, band numbers, and data types. This format is typically accompanied by other sibling files, including .bsw for spatial world coordinates and .prj for the map projection.

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.
