Survey file format converters
FieldToCAD is built for the search intent behind "JobXML to LandXML", "RW5 to State Plane", and "Civil 3D survey import": turn field-controller exports into validated CAD coordinates without uploading the job.
Choose your source file
JobXML to LandXML
Convert Trimble Access JobXML (.jxl) files to LandXML for Civil 3D. Client-side ground-to-grid localization, State Plane transform, and visual validation. No upload required.

RW5 to State Plane
Transform Carlson Survey RW5 field files to NAD83 State Plane coordinates in the browser. Ground-to-grid localization, combined scale factor, and LandXML export.
Read the guide
RXL conversion
Parse Trimble RXL alignment and survey files, localize to State Plane, and export LandXML with client-side visual validation before CAD import.
Read the guide
CSV point import
Import point-list CSV or TSV files with point id, easting, northing, elevation, and code columns. Review units and grid/local intent before CAD export.

High-intent survey workflows covered
- Trimble Access JobXML to Autodesk Civil 3D LandXML
- Carlson RW5 field book to NAD83 State Plane coordinates
- Trimble RXL alignment data to CAD-ready LandXML
- Localized ground grid to official State Plane or UTM output
Why the converter runs in the browser
Survey field files can contain client property data, control points, and project geometry. FieldToCAD reads JobXML, RW5, and RXL files locally with browser APIs, applies ground-to-grid localization, shows the transformed points on a validation map, and exports LandXML or Field Book output without sending raw coordinates to a server.
