Map Data Workflow

Bring files into a GIS

Need CAP content inside a GIS project? reaConverter converts it to SHP offline and in batch, so a whole folder arrives in the format your GIS expects. Placing it on the map is then a job for the GIS.

  • Convert a whole folder to SHP in one pass
  • Apply the same settings to every file in the batch
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

CAP to SHP Conversion

What are CAP files?

The CAP format is associated with RAW images taken with a Phase One camera. Phase One is a Danish producer of high-end medium-sized cameras, particularly popular among photography experts and professionals. A CAP file represents a high-resolution photograph, taken without any automatic corrections of colors, white balance or luminosity. CAP images are very large in size and they can be visualized only after going through digital processing using specialized software.

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.
