FAQ
MIF to DRW Conversion
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
What are DRW files?
DRW stands for "Drawing" and represents a vector graphics format associated primarily with Corel Draw, but also with other advanced graphics design programs, including Microsoft Picture It!, Paint Shop Pro, Micrografx, Igrafx etc. The DRW format is supported both on Windows and Mac applications (on MacDraw and AppleWorks) and stores images and drawings constructed with lines or paths, instead of dots.
