FAQ
XTF to DRW Conversion
What are XTF files?
XTF is the XML transfer file of INTERLIS 2, the Swiss standard for exchanging geographic data. It holds the actual data of a delivery, for example the parcels, buildings, and land cover of a municipality, in readable XML text, while the rules that the data follow, such as which classes of objects exist and what their attributes mean, are written in a separate model file with the .ili extension. Because the data are tied to the model, a program can check automatically whether an XTF file is complete and correct, which is a requirement for official Swiss data such as the cadastral survey and the public-law restrictions on land ownership. XTF files are used in Switzerland and also in other countries that have adopted INTERLIS.
What are DRW files?
DRW stands for "Drawing" and represents a vector graphics format associated primarily with Corel Draw, but also with other advanced graphics design programs, including Microsoft Picture It!, Paint Shop Pro, Micrografx, Igrafx etc. The DRW format is supported both on Windows and Mac applications (on MacDraw and AppleWorks) and stores images and drawings constructed with lines or paths, instead of dots.
