AFF to HRZ conversion is the process of transforming a drawing file in the AFF (Advanced Free-form Format) format into an HRZ (Horizon Drawing Exchange) file so the artwork and vector data can be opened, edited, or rendered in tools that support HRZ. This conversion maps AFF's vector shapes, layers, and metadata into HRZ equivalents while attempting to preserve geometry, styling, and any embedded resources.
