FAQ
SDAT to AI Conversion
What are SDAT files?
SDAT is the data file of the SAGA GIS grid format. SAGA (System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses) is a free, open-source GIS widely used for terrain analysis, hydrology, soil science, climate studies, and other geoscientific work. A grid in this format is a map made of equal square cells, such as an elevation model, with one value in each cell. The .sdat file holds only these values in binary form, while a small text file with the same name and the .sgrd extension describes them: the size of the grid, its position, the cell size, the type of numbers, and the value that marks missing data. A history file with the .hgrd extension and a projection file with the .prj extension may accompany them. SAGA can also pack all of these files into one archive.
What are AI files?
AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) is a proprietary format used by Adobe Illustrator to create vector-based drawings. Though highly popular among graphic designer due to its ability to offer the possibility of creating and editing vector-based drawings. AI files can prove to be incompatible with most image viewers. For this reason, designers usually prefer to convert them to a more accessible format after finalizing the drawing.
