APX to SHP Conversion
What are APX files?
APX is an image file format associated with Ability Photopaint Studio, a drawing program which is part of the Ability Office pack. This office suite was developed by Ability Plus Software and first launched in mid-1990s, including a word processor, a spreadsheet program, as well as one for creating presentations and another for databases. Photopaint supported vector file handling and APX files represent layered images that can be edited. Several upgraded versions of Ability Office were launched in the past few years, and its latest edition is compatible with Microsoft Office.
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.
