What is an AXL file?

AXL files mostly belong to ETAS ASCET. The AXL file extension is used in two specific ways.
One type is a automotive system library file. This kind of AXL file is created by ETAS ASCET and uses a compressed ZIP format to store simulation models and data used in automotive systems. It is also known as an AUTOSAR Simulink model exchange file.
The other type is an ArcGIS XML layout file that holds map layout details in an XML structure. This file is used within ArcGIS Pro to manage layout designs. For more details on its use, see the ArcGIS Pro overview.
Before opening your AXL file, check its content to decide the correct application:

If it contains compressed (ZIP) data, then ETAS ASCET or a ZIP extraction tool is best.

If it is written in XML, a text editor or ArcGIS Pro will display its layout details.

How to open AXL files

You need a suitable software like ETAS ASCET to open an AXL 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. If you cannot open your AXL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AXL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
