SOL to SHP Conversion: FAQ
What are SOL files?
SOL is an extension attached to a 2-D representation of the bottom copper layer from a printed circuit board (PCB). SOL is part of the Gerber family of extensions, which represents the de facto standard in the PCB industry. Other similar formats include CMP, STS, STC — to name just a few. Gerber files contain descriptions of various board details, such as electrical connections, copper layers, solder masks, silkscreen data 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.
