Predominantly, G01 or G-01 is utilized in CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) programming. This set of code is a part of many programmable instructions for CNC machines to perform specific actions. In the series G00 to G99, G01 represents a linear Interpolation or a straight line, useful for positioning and linear motions in the typically 3-axis CNC process. Appropriate software, such as Autodesk Fusion 360, is used to open, analyze, and modify these files.

Additionally, G01 extension files come in use with HEC-RAS Geometry file, commonly used in designing and GIS software. GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, work with mapping and analyzing satellite or aerial imagery, 3D cities, etc. These files can be opened using Bentley's MicroStation, Autodesk's AutoCAD, or a HEC-RAS compatible environment.
