PLC to SHP Conversion: FAQ
What are PLC files?
The PLC extension is attached to images that represent the top silkscreen of an electronic board, most likely processed via Eagle software. PLC is part of the Gerber group of extensions, which functions as a de facto standard for storing images in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Other extensions included in this group are STC, STS and PLS. Each format contains data on a different segment or detail of an electronic board, including solder masks, copper layers etc.
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.
