Convert a file to GXM

To convert other file formats to the "Model Exchange File" file type, you need software like GeneXus or a similar tool.

About GXM files

The .gxm extension is most frequently associated with the GeneXus Executable Model, a specialized format used within the GeneXus low-code software development platform. These files typically contain exported model objects, logic definitions, or interface structures designed to be shared between different GeneXus Knowledge Bases (KB). Because GeneXus generates native code (Java, .NET, Swift) from these high-level models, a .gxm file is essentially a blueprint, not a final usable application.

Common User Friction:

Proprietary Lock-in: You cannot open a .gxm file with standard text editors or viewers. It requires the specific GeneXus IDE version it was created with.
Opaque Data: Unlike open XML or JSON, the contents are often serialized or encoded, making manual editing impossible without corrupting the file.
Version Conflicts: Importing a model from a newer GeneXus version into an older environment frequently fails.

For General CADD Pro users, a .gxm file represents a Macro, a script used to automate repetitive drafting tasks. These are much simpler and can often be viewed as plain text.

Best Conversion Targets:

For Documentation: Convert to PDF (via GeneXus "Print" feature) to archive the model's logic flow.
For Interoperability: Export the model logic to XML or Xpz (GeneXus native export) to migrate data between versions.
For Editing (CADD): Convert the macro to TXT to debug or modify the automation script in Notepad++.

Convert.Guru analyzes your GXM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted GXD, SCP and VCP files.

The GXM Converter Story

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 GXM converter.
