Convert Trimble RXL (.rxl) survey data for CAD
FieldToCAD reads Trimble RXL (.rxl) files in-browser, applies ground-to-grid localization, projects to your target coordinate system, and exports LandXML for Civil 3D with no server upload of survey coordinates.
How to convert with FieldToCAD
- 1. Load RXL: Drop your .rxl file from Trimble Business Center or controller export.
- 2. Localize: Apply your site calibration parameters.
- 3. Transform: Project to State Plane or UTM.
- 4. Validate: Inspect the live canvas map for distortion.
- 5. Export LandXML: Import directly into Civil 3D.
Comparison
| Method | Typical time | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| FieldToCAD | ~5 min | Pre-export visual check |
| Manual | 30+ min | No automated validation |
| TBC export | 10–20 min | Requires Trimble license |
RXL files carry Trimble road and survey alignment data. FieldToCAD extracts coordinate points and applies the same localization pipeline used for JobXML and RW5.
