FAQ
MID to GBR Conversion
What are MID files?
MID is the attribute table of MapInfo's interchange format, in which map data are exchanged as a pair of text files. The shapes of the objects, such as points, lines, and areas, are kept in a file with the .mif extension, while the .mid file holds the descriptive data about the same objects, such as names, codes, numbers, and dates, in the form of a simple table. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and this pair of files is its open way of passing data to other programs, because both files are plain text and can be read and corrected in any text editor. The .mid file is not useful by itself, since it contains no coordinates.
What are GBR files?
GBR is part of the Gerber group of formats — a set of standardized extensions used in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber files include 2-D representations of various PCB images, such as copper layers, solder mask etc. They can also describe the electrical connections on such boards, or drilling and milling info associated with them. Similar formats include GBS, CMP and SOL.
