BOT to SHP Conversion: FAQ
What are BOT files?
BOT is a Gerber format, which means it is part of a larger group of 2-D vector images used as a standard in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber images are processed by photoplotting machinery in order to produce PCBs and they contain descriptions of different layers of the board or other details (electrical connections, vias, pads, drilling or milling data etc.). BOT files describe the bottom copper layer of a PCB and they can be used in the production of such a board without any other external files.
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.
