FAQ
IPC to DXF Conversion
What are IPC files?
IPC is an extension that some people give to Apache Arrow files, short for the interprocess communication format of Apache Arrow. It is a fast file for tables of data, in which the values are stored column by column, so that programs written in different languages can open the same file quickly and without converting it. When one of the columns holds geometries such as points, lines, or polygons, the file follows the GeoArrow specification, which also records their coordinate system. The Arrow project itself recommends the .arrow extension for such files, and .feather is also common, so .ipc is not an official name and is met mainly in the work of data analysts who named the file after the format.
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.
