Land XML


Several companies teamed up to create a method for exchanging project information across different software packages, and LandXML is the result. LandXML is a generic, text-based file format used to save project data. It’s similar to a DXF™ file, which is a generic file format for vector-based drawing information. LandXML recognizes the following project data:

  •  Points
  •  Point groups
  •  Description keys
  •  Surfaces
  •  Parcels
  •  Horizontal alignments
  •  Profiles
  •  Cross sections

LandXML files are always given the extension .xml, and you can view them in any web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator).

LandXML is commonly used to interchange Survey and Civil Engineering data. You can use a LandXML file:

  •  To transfer information between different CAD products such
  •  To move or rotate sets of points, surfaces, or alignments.
  •  To convert data between metric and imperial projects.
  •  With style sheets to export LandXML data and create customized reports
