SK1 to SHP Conversion
What are SK1 files?
SK1 (which stands for Skencil or Sketch) is a vector format associated with the SK1 drawing program, which was designed for Linux platforms and had its last release in 2009. As opposed to other competing programs, such as Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator, SK1 is open source, so it can be downloaded and used for free while offering similar features.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
