FAQ
MDL to MIF Conversion
What are MDL files?
MDL is a model image file associated with Half Life, a popular video game that was first released in 1998. The science-fiction shooter game had subsequent releases and upgraded, the latest being launched in 2007. MDL is considered a rare format and is probably difficult to use outside the game software.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
