Technical note

What changes when you convert GFF to IGS

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. IGS 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. A line in a GFF image is several pixels wide, so tracing it can mean different things and the mode is yours to choose. Centreline returns a single line running down the middle of each stroke, which is what a scanned drawing needs: one entity per line, snappable and dimensionable, rather than a long thin rectangle around it. Outline follows both edges and returns closed shapes, which suits clipart, logos and anything that will be filled or cut. A precision setting controls how closely the traced paths follow the pixel edges. One thing to plan for: vectorised output from this path is black and white, so colour in the GFF does not survive as colour in the IGS.

Map Data Workflow

From map data to a working drawing

Site plans, utility routes and parcel boundaries often start out as GFF and end up in IGS. 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 IGS 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.

FAQ

GFF to IGS Conversion

What are GFF files?

GFF (GSAT File Format) is a raster image format developed by Sandia National Laboratories in the United States to store images and image products from its synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. The name comes from the Ground-based SAR Applications Testbed (GSAT), the program in which the format was created. A file of this type consists of a header of variable length, which records the configuration and performance parameters of the instrument and the image, followed by a matrix of pixel data. The format was designed to allow custom annotation of radar images, and it has gone through several revisions as Sandia's radar programs developed. It remains the main image format of the laboratory, which keeps a large library of SAR images in this form.

What are IGS files?

The IGS (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format is a standardized CAD data exchange format used to transfer 2D and 3D model data between different CAD systems. Developed in the 1980s, IGES ensures compatibility across various engineering and design software by storing geometric data, annotations, and structure in a neutral ASCII or binary format.
