'''12da_to_from_GIS.exe''' converts .12da files from the 12D software [httphttps://www.12d.com (www.12d.com)] to and from .mif and .shp files, the .12da file needs to be in ANSI encoding, not UTF. If importing/exporting to/from 12D and a GIS simply specify the file that you wish to have translated. If the file has a .12da (or a .4da) extension, the program converts it to a .mif/.mid file format. If the file has a .mif extension, the program converts it to a .12da file.<br>
Note, when converting from a .12da file to a .mif file without any options, 12da_to_from_mif automatically creates a .mif/.mid file suitable for use by Read GIS Z Line. This is useful for importing 3D breaklines (eg. of a road design) directly into TUFLOW.<br>
There are some very useful options as discussed in the table below.<br>
