Technical note

How GXF and IGES differ in practice

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 GXF 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.

FAQ

GXF to IGES Conversion

What are GXF files?

GXF (Grid eXchange File) is an open text format for exchanging gridded data between different programs. It was developed by Geosoft, a Canadian company that makes software for geophysics, and it became the standard way of passing gravity and magnetic survey maps between systems. Such a map is a net of equal cells, and each cell holds a measured value, for example the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. A GXF file stores these values as plain text, together with the information needed to place the grid on the ground, such as the spacing between points and the map projection. Because the file can be opened in any text editor and does not depend on the software that made it, it is also used to share elevation data and other kinds of surfaces.

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.
