Convert FrameCAD XML to CSV — Instantly, Online

Upload a FrameCAD XML export and download a machine-ready CSV in minutes. No Detailer licence, no emailing files to a conversion service, no waiting.

How the FrameCAD XML to CSV conversion works

  1. Upload your FrameCAD XML file (or a ZIP archive of multiple panels) straight from the browser.
  2. Review every wall panel, truss, and joist in the 2D frame editor — members, dimensions, and tooling marks (swages, lip notches, web notches, dimples) exactly as they will reach the machine.
  3. Export a machine CSV mapped to your roll-former's tool library and load it on the machine.

Free to try — upload your file, review every frame in the 2D editor at no cost, and pay only $0.03 USD per linear metre when you export.

Why not just use FrameCAD Detailer?

FrameCAD Detailer produces the XML in the design office — but turning that XML into a machine CSV on the fabrication side traditionally requires a second Detailer seat. If your factory runs a non-FrameCAD roll-former, or the annual licence doesn't make sense for a conversion-only workflow, LGSConverter replaces that step entirely. The XML already contains the full member geometry and tooling; LGSConverter reads it faithfully and writes the CSV your machine expects.

Instant and self-serve — not an email service

Some conversion services ask you to email your FrameCAD project and wait up to an hour for a CSV to come back. LGSConverter is software, not a mailbox: the conversion runs the moment you upload, you inspect the result frame-by-frame yourself, and nothing leaves your control before you approve it. Uploaded files are processed in memory and are not stored after conversion.

What's in the exported CSV

One row per member: profile code, cut length, and the full tooling list with positions — swage, lip notch, web notch, dimple, and end-truss marks — in the column layout your machine's control software reads. Machine tool-mapping profiles are configured once and reused on every export.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a FrameCAD Detailer licence to convert XML to CSV?

No. LGSConverter reads the standard FrameCAD Detailer XML export directly in the browser and produces the machine CSV without any FrameCAD software installed.

Is the FrameCAD XML to CSV conversion free?

Uploading, converting, and reviewing frames in the 2D editor is free. You pay only when you export a CSV, at $0.03 USD per linear metre — with no seat licence or subscription.

Which machines does the CSV work with?

Dahezb and PINNACLE CSV formats are built in. Other CSV-driven roll-formers can be targeted through a configurable custom machine profile — contact us with a sample of your machine's CSV format and we will confirm compatibility before you commit to production.

How long does the conversion take?

Seconds for typical files. Large projects with 50+ panels may take 30–60 seconds to process on upload. There is no queue and no waiting for a person to process your file.
