Extract text from Leica codelist files (X06)
To convert X06 codelists to another format, you need Leica Geo Office or other GIS software.
To convert other file formats to the "Surveying Codelist File" file type, you need software like Leica Geo Office or a similar tool.
The .X06 file is a proprietary surveying feature codelist file developed by Leica Geosystems. It contains predefined feature codes, attributes, and line-work rules used by surveyors and engineers to classify topographic data directly in the field.
These files are primarily managed and generated using legacy surveying software like Leica Geo Office (LGO) or its modern successor, Leica Infinity.
The .X06 format is a closed, proprietary file type. This creates significant disadvantages because it cannot be natively opened by web browsers, standard spreadsheet software, or third-party CAD programs. Surveyors often face data lock-in, requiring expensive, licensed software just to read or modify their own field codes.
Users frequently need to convert .X06 files to CSV, XML, or DXF to share codelists with teams using different surveying equipment or GIS platforms. Converting often requires the original software to ensure complex attribute rules are not lost during the export process.
This format is difficult to open or convert because the encoding is highly specific to Leica's internal ecosystem. Standard online converters fail to process it because they lack the proprietary parsing logic. However, just drag and drop your .X06 file into convert.guru to identify the format, inspect the underlying code, and extract readable text. If our analysis detects supported embedded data, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your X06 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GSI, X01 and M00 files.
If you want to convert X06 file to , you can use Leica Geo Office or similar software from the "Surveying Feature Codelist" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to X06, try Leica Geo Office or another comparable tool in the "Surveying Feature Codelist" category.
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 X06 converter.
