FAQ
RIK to DXF Conversion
What are RIK files?
RIK is a raster map format used for digital maps issued by Lantmäteriet, the Swedish national mapping, cadastral, and land registration authority. A file of this type holds a map as a picture, in which each point is one of up to 256 colors, together with the information needed to place it on the ground in the Swedish national grid. The format exists in three versions, and files of all of them are found in collections of Swedish topographic and general maps, which were distributed on discs and used in navigation programs, hiking and orienteering software, and ordinary mapping systems. Because it is a specialized national format, ordinary image viewers cannot open it, and conversion is the practical way to use such maps elsewhere.
What are DXF files?
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a format associated with AutoCAD, a popular program used for computer-aided design by engineers, architects and other professionals in the field of building design and construction. The DXF format was developed in the early 1980s by Autodesk with the purpose of increasing the interoperability between AutoCAD and other CAD or advanced image design programs. It supports 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings, and can be opened using a wide array of image processing programs.
