Export LandXML points (CgPoints) to CSV

Survey points in LandXML live inside a block as individual elements. Each CgPoint carries its identity in attributes — name (the point number), code (the feature/survey code) and desc (a description) — and its position as text content inside the element. By default that text is three space-separated numbers in northing easting elevation order, matching the file's coordinate system. Some exporters also append the point name as a trailing token.

Getting these into a usable point file means reading both the attributes and the coordinate text and lining them up correctly. This tool does exactly that: it reads name/code/desc from the attributes and parses the coordinate triplet from the element text, so each row of the CSV is one point with its number, coordinates and description intact.

You choose the column order. PNEZD writes Point, Northing, Easting, Elevation, Description. PXYZD writes Point, X (easting), Y (northing), Z, Description. Both describe the same point; pick whichever your data collector or office software imports.

Exporting CgPoints step by step

  1. Drop your LandXML file on the tool; the summary shows how many survey points were found.
  2. Choose PNEZD (free) or PXYZD column order from the picker.
  3. Click Export CSV — the free version exports the first 25 points; the full version exports all of them.
  4. Import the CSV into your data collector, spreadsheet, or COGO software.

Questions

What if my CgPoints store coordinates as easting northing instead?

LandXML's default order is northing easting elevation, which is what the tool assumes. If a file uses a non-default order, the PXYZD option lets you flip easting/northing in the output so the columns line up with your expectation.

Are point codes and descriptions kept?

Yes. The code attribute and desc attribute are both read; the description column falls back to the code when no separate description is present, so feature codes are never silently dropped.

Can I get just a subset of points?

The free tier exports the first 25 points so you can verify the format before buying. The full version exports the complete set in one file.
