FAQ
ITF to IGS Conversion
What are ITF files?
ITF is a text file with geographic data in the INTERLIS 1 transfer format, a Swiss standard for passing data between land information systems. It is the delivery that goes together with a model file with the .ili extension: the model says what kinds of objects exist and what their attributes mean, and the ITF file holds the objects themselves, such as parcels, buildings, boundary lines, and survey points, with their coordinates and attributes. The format was created by the Swiss Federal Directorate for Cadastral Surveying in the 1990s and is still used for official surveying data in Switzerland. Because the data and the model are kept apart, one model can be used for many deliveries, and new deliveries are checked against it.
What are IGS files?
The IGS (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format is a standardized CAD data exchange format used to transfer 2D and 3D model data between different CAD systems. Developed in the 1980s, IGES ensures compatibility across various engineering and design software by storing geometric data, annotations, and structure in a neutral ASCII or binary format.
