FAQ
ILI to DXF Conversion
What are ILI files?
ILI is the model file of INTERLIS, the Swiss standard for describing and exchanging geographic data. Before data are passed from one office or program to another, the agreement on what exactly the data contain is written in a file of this type: which kinds of objects exist, such as parcels, buildings, and roads, which attributes each has, how they are related, and which rules the values must obey. The data themselves are not stored here but in separate transfer files, so that one model can serve many deliveries. INTERLIS was created in Switzerland in the 1990s for cadastral surveying and is now mandatory for official Swiss geodata, and it is also used in other countries. There are two versions, INTERLIS 1 and INTERLIS 2, and both use the .ili extension for models.
What are DXF files?
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a format associated with AutoCAD, a popular program used for computer-aided design by engineers, architects and other professionals in the field of building design and construction. The DXF format was developed in the early 1980s by Autodesk with the purpose of increasing the interoperability between AutoCAD and other CAD or advanced image design programs. It supports 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings, and can be opened using a wide array of image processing programs.
