Technical note

GVB to AI: what to expect from the conversion

GVB is made of pixels and AI stores geometry, so the conversion traces the image into paths. Once traced, the artwork scales to any size without softening, which is the point of the exercise. It is a reconstruction rather than the original drawing: curves are fitted to the pixel edges, so the cleaner and sharper the source, the closer the paths follow what the designer intended. How good the result is depends almost entirely on the GVB going in. Clean line art, a logo or a drawing scanned at 300 dpi or more traces into geometry you can work with. A photograph does not: continuous tone has no contours to follow, so tracing it produces thousands of tiny shapes and a file nobody can edit. Scan or export at the highest resolution available, and prefer a lossless original, because compression artefacts along an edge become ripples in the traced path.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see GVB data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to AI for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to AI with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • 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

GVB to AI Conversion

What are GVB files?

GVB is a datum grid shift file that follows the NTv2 (National Transformation version 2) model, created by the Geodetic Survey of Natural Resources Canada. Such a file helps convert map coordinates between two geodetic datums, which are different mathematical models of the Earth, so that old and new survey data line up correctly. It covers an area with a net of points and stores, for each of them, how far latitude and longitude have to be moved, usually with an estimate of the accuracy of the shift. A program finds the points nearest to a location and calculates the exact correction between them. Files with this structure are used by national mapping agencies and surveyors, and they are particularly valuable for cadastral and engineering work, where small errors matter.

What are AI files?

AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) is a proprietary format used by Adobe Illustrator to create vector-based drawings. Though highly popular among graphic designer due to its ability to offer the possibility of creating and editing vector-based drawings. AI files can prove to be incompatible with most image viewers. For this reason, designers usually prefer to convert them to a more accessible format after finalizing the drawing.
