Data file

What is a .rsc file?

A .rsc file is a MicroStation Symbology Resource File. This is a data file — structured information used by a program rather than read directly.

How to open a .rsc file

  • Start with the program that produced it; that's almost always the right tool.
  • Open it in a text editor to see whether it's readable text or binary.
  • For database formats, DB Browser for SQLite or LibreOffice Base can often import it.

The registry records this extension against MicroStation Symbology Resource File, so software from that family is the most likely match.

How to convert a .rsc file

  • If you can view the data, exporting to .csv is usually the most portable option.
