What is an HSX file

HSX files mostly belong to Hypack Navigation. An HSX file extension is used in two main ways. In one use, HSX files serve as hydrographic survey files created by Hypack Navigation software. They store sonar data collected during surveys, which helps in mapping underwater terrains. These files keep technical details in a structured format that only specialized software can interpret.
In another use, HSX files are employed by Autodesk 3ds Max to save hotkey configurations. This XML-based file holds custom shortcut settings to improve workflow during 3D modeling and animation.
