Convert GRB to IGS

Online GIS converters cap file size and need an upload. reaConverter converts GRB to IGS locally, whatever the size of the dataset.

Got a folder full of GRB files? reaConverter batch converts them to IGS in minutes, not hours. Local processing means instant results, even with thousands of files. Works without QGIS or ArcGIS, so GIS data can be converted on any office PC.

Technical note

Before you convert GRB to IGS

Geospatial coordinates are absolute positions on the earth, and they are large: a projected easting runs to six or seven digits, while latitude and longitude are small decimals. IGS expects a drawing laid out near its own origin in millimetres or inches. The geometry itself converts correctly, but it can land tens of kilometres from 0,0, or arrive at a scale where an entire county is forty units across. Zoom to extents first, then measure one known distance before dimensioning anything. How good the result is depends almost entirely on the GRB going in. Clean line art, a logo or a drawing scanned at 300 dpi or more traces into geometry you can work with. A photograph does not: continuous tone has no contours to follow, so tracing it produces thousands of tiny shapes and a file nobody can edit. Scan or export at the highest resolution available, and prefer a lossless original, because compression artefacts along an edge become ripples in the traced path.

Map Data Workflow

From map data to a working drawing

Site plans, utility routes and parcel boundaries often start out as GRB and end up in IGS. reaConverter turns the layers into drawing entities in batch, so a full project folder moves across in one run.

  • Convert every layer in a folder to IGS with the same settings
  • Go the other way too, from DWG to Shapefile, when the GIS team needs the drawings back
  • Render the same data to PDF for a quick review copy
  • 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

GRB to IGS Conversion

What are GRB files?

GRB is a file extension used for GRIB (GRIdded Binary), a standard of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for storing and exchanging weather and climate data on a regular grid. The format is widely used for forecasts from numerical weather prediction models, such as temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, and precipitation. A file of this type is a sequence of messages, and each message holds one set of values for a single parameter, level, and time, together with a description of the grid and the date of the forecast. The format exists in two main editions: GRIB1, introduced around 1990, and the newer GRIB2, which uses the .grb2 or .grib2 extensions. Data are compactly packed, so large forecast archives take little space.

What are IGS files?

The IGS (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format is a standardized CAD data exchange format used to transfer 2D and 3D model data between different CAD systems. Developed in the 1980s, IGES ensures compatibility across various engineering and design software by storing geometric data, annotations, and structure in a neutral ASCII or binary format.
