FAQ
CXF to CAL Conversion
What are CXF files?
CXF (Cadastral eXchange Format) is the vector format in which the Italian Revenue Agency, the Agenzia delle Entrate, issues the digital maps of the Italian land cadastre. A file of this type contains the map of one cadastral sheet with the outlines of land parcels and buildings, their numbers, roads, rivers, administrative boundaries, and labels, drawn as lines, points, and text instead of a picture. Professionals such as surveyors, engineers, and architects download these files from the agency and use them in CAD and GIS programs to prepare property boundary surveys, building permits, and planning projects. The agency also issues the same maps in DXF, in the XML-based CML format, and in some cases in GeoJSON, and the CXF form is considered the most detailed of them.
What are CAL files?
A CAL image file represents a monochrome bitmap image that uses the CALS raster image standard for storing graphics data. This standard was created in the 1980s by the US Department of Defence as a compressed interchangeable image format. CAL and CALS are extensions used for similar purposes.
