FAQ
LOS to DWF Conversion
What are LOS files?
LOS (Longitude Seconds) is a grid file of NADCON, the North American Datum Conversion tool of the U.S. National Geodetic Survey (NGS). It holds the east-west part of the correction that moves coordinates from an older datum, such as NAD27, to a newer one, such as NAD83, and it is always used together with a file of the same name with the .las extension, which holds the north-south part. Each file covers a region, such as the conterminous United States, Alaska, or Hawaii, with a regular net of points, and every point carries a shift in seconds of arc. Surveyors and mapmakers used these pairs for decades to bring older maps and survey records into agreement with modern positions.
What are DWF files?
DWF (Design Web Format) is a file format associated with Autodesk and its function is mainly that of facilitating the transfer of information related to a design project. As opposed to DWG files, the proprietary format of AutoCAD, DWF are more compressed and smaller in size. They can translate complicated structures related to architectural designs or engineering into a series of sheets that are easy to view and print.
