SPL to SHP Conversion: FAQ
What are SPL files?
The .SPL file is a Gerber-format file used in PCB manufacturing. It follows the RS-274X standard and contains vector-based instructions for photoplotters, defining copper traces, solder masks, and silkscreen layers. Generated by PCB design software, SPL files ensure accurate translation of circuit layouts into physical boards during fabrication.
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.
