Technical note

Before you convert SVS to GBR

SVS is made of pixels and GBR stores geometry, so the conversion traces the image into real lines, arcs and polylines. The result is editable in CAD: entities can be selected, snapped to and measured, rather than a bitmap wrapped inside a GBR container, which is what a viewer or a lightweight converter usually produces. It is still derived geometry, so expect contours rather than a structured drawing. Dimensions, blocks and meaningful layer names were never in the SVS to begin with. Lettering in the image is traced as shapes, not recognised as text. Every character arrives as an outline that can be scaled and edited like any other geometry, but not retyped, restyled or searched, and no font is attached to it. Titles and callouts on a scanned drawing usually have to be typed again in the GBR if they need to stay editable.

FAQ

SVS to GBR Conversion

What are SVS files?

SVS is an image format associated with Aperio medical equipment, such as microscopes or scanscopes. Though similar with the TIFF format in terms of features, SVS has a lot less compatibility with regular image viewers and tends to have a very large size. SVS files contain multiple images in a predefined order, including a baseline tiled image, a thumbnail, intermediate "pyramid" images (made up of tiles), an optional slide label image etc.

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.
