Extract text from CBX files
To convert your CBX file to another format, you need RIB CostX or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Management Data" file type, you need software like RIB CostX or a similar tool.
The .cbx extension is a "container" format used by disparate industries, creating significant confusion for users. Most commonly, it is a Construction Cost Estimation file created by RIB CostX. These files are ZIP-compressed archives containing project data, takeoff measurements, and pricing sheets. The problem? RIB CostX is specialized enterprise software; if you are a subcontractor or client without a license, you cannot simply double-click to view the budget. You are locked out of the data unless you convert it to a universal format like XLSX (Excel) or PDF for reviewing.
Alternatively, in legacy systems, a .cbx file may be a Clarion Database Memo file used by SoftVelocity Clarion applications to store variable-length text fields associated with a database record. These are binary files that standard text editors cannot parse. Less frequently, gamers encounter .cbx files as proprietary audio containers in titles like LEGO Dimensions (using middleware from CRIWARE) or as XML-based battle definitions in The Battle for Middle-earth.
For CostX files, the best conversion target is XLSX to manipulate the numbers or CSV for importing into other databases. For game audio, converting to WAV or MP3 is necessary for playback. Users attempting to open these files often face "Unknown File Type" errors because the operating system lacks the specific proprietary decoders required.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CBX converter.
