Extract text from Leica codelist files (X06)
To convert X06 codelists to another format, you need Leica Infinity or other GIS software.
To convert other file formats to the "Surveying Data" file type, you need software like Leica Infinity or a similar tool.
The .X06 file is a proprietary binary component of a Leica Geosystems feature codelist database. Used primarily on System 1200, Viva, and Captivate surveying instruments, this file contains the definitions for field feature codes (e.g., "TR" for Tree, "EP" for Edge of Pavement) that surveyors use to categorize data during collection.
A common problem for users is that the .X06 cannot be opened or edited directly in standard text editors like Notepad or spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel. It is part of a multi-file dependency cluster - typically requiring a matching .X23 and XCF file to function correctly on the instrument's SD card. To modify these codes or convert them for use in other software, users must typically rely on the manufacturer's specific desktop software, Leica Geo Office (legacy) or Leica Infinity. For archiving or interoperability, the best workflow is to import the codelist into Leica software and export it to XML (HeXML), CSV, or TXT formats.
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.

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.
