Converting CSV, SEG P1, and Annotation Files to Shapefiles

Individual comma separated value (.csv), seismic SEG P1, and annotation files saved using AccuMap can be converted to shapefile format. Once converted, they can be attached to maps and can also be opened in other applications that accept shapefile format.

Annotations can also be converted to shapefile format by selecting the annotation(s) and clicking Shapefiles () on the Annotation tab. For details, see Related Topics below.
