What is a CXZIP file?
A CXZIP file is a Zip-compressed project archive that stores vector graphics data in the Coordinates Exchange Text-Format (CXTF). It packages a .CXTF file (typically named __main.cxtf) together with related resources, such as referenced images, symbols, fonts, or other files needed to display the project correctly. By combining these files into a single compressed archive, CXZIP makes it easier to distribute complete CXTF projects.
More Information
The CXZIP format was developed as part of the CXTF ecosystem created by Stefan Gies for exchanging coordinate-based graphics in an open, platform-independent format. A CXZIP file uses standard .ZIP compression to reduce file size while preserving the structure of the project. Cartographers, GIS professionals, engineers, scientists, and software developers may use CXZIP files to share maps, technical drawings, and other vector-based graphics that contain multiple related resources.
How to open a CXZIP file
You can open CXZIP files with the CXTF Viewer from Heightmap.org by loading the files through a webpage that uses the CXTF viewer component. The viewer displays the coordinate-based graphics in a web browser.
Since CXZIP files use ZIP compression, you can also open them with standard archive utilities to view the contents, although a CXTF-compatible viewer, such as the CXTF Viewer from Heightmap.org, is required to display the graphics correctly.
