Technical note

What changes when you convert ISG to DWG

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. DWG 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 an ISG 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 ISG does not survive as colour in the DWG.

Map Data Workflow

From map data to a working drawing

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

If you work with AutoCAD, Autodesk, or similar CAD software, you’ve likely faced format compatibility issues. Every developer seems to insist on their own proprietary formats, making conversions a real challenge. The solution? reaConverter. This tool effortlessly handles two-way conversion between dozens of specialized formats!

My son is training to become an architect, so he's learning Autodesk, AutoCAD, and other design software. With so many file formats in this field, we needed a reliable conversion tool fast. reaConverter was the perfect solution - lightning-fast conversions, zero lag, and it works completely offline!

FAQ

ISG to DWG Conversion

What are ISG files?

ISG is a text file format of the International Service for the Geoid, an official service of the International Association of Geodesy, based at the Politecnico di Milano in Italy. The service collects geoid models from many countries and republishes them in this single format, so that users do not have to deal with a different file layout for every country. A geoid model describes the shape of the surface of mean sea level, and it is what allows heights from satellite positioning to be converted into heights above sea level. A file of this type holds the geoid heights as numbers on a regular net of points, accompanied by a header that names the model, its author and year, and the area it covers. Some files also hold models given at scattered points.

What are DWG files?

DWG (which stands for "Drawing") is a proprietary format of AutoCAD, a program widely used for creating engineering and architectural projects. The format is also a default extension used by several other computer-aided design (CAD) pieces of software, including IntelliCAD, Caddie or DraftSight. DWG files contain complex design structures including several layers, which can be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.

Can reaConverter convert ISG to DWG?
