Then click 'Open with' and choose an application. If you cannot open your LXF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file.

Without proper software you will receive a Windows message ' How do you want to open this file?' or ' Windows cannot open this file' or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. You need a suitable software like LEGO Digital Designer to open an LXF file. In order to access the LEF file content, the LXF must be extracted using a supporting unarchiving program such as 7-Zip, Corel WinZip, or Splash Meet Manager. The LEF file actually stores this swimming-related information in an XML form. These LXF files are essentially ZIP files that store a compressed LEF file. It stores swimming event data which aids in organizing competitions and record-keeping by facilitating the exchange of data between race organizers, swimming clubs, and associations.

Other Uses: LXF files also refer to files created in the LEN Exchange Format (otherwise known as Lenex format).

BricksViewer can be used to open LXF files on Windows, macOS as well as Linux computers. LEGO Digital Designer and BrickLink Studio can be used to access LXF files on Windows and macOS systems. An older version of the LXF LEGO data file format also contains a third file MODEL100.MODEL within its ZIP container.

This ZIP file consists of two files, namely IMAGE100.PNG (a PNG file containing the design preview data) and IMAGE100.LXFML file ( LXFML file contains the design data in an XML format). The data in the LXF files contains three-dimensional model information saved in a ZIP format.

Main Use: LEGO Digital Designer program is used in the construction of virtual LEGO designs.

LXF files are mainly associated with the LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) program developed by The LEGO Group (the pioneer of the line of popular interlocking toys called LEGO). LXF files mostly belong to LEGO Digital Designer by LEGO Group.
