If you export your hold's text, you get things like:

<Levels HoldID='10143' GID_LevelIndex='1' LevelID='10674'>
<Rooms LevelID='10674' RoomX='50' RoomY='1067450' RoomID='15199'>

Is there a way to translate that into actual room coordinates?

Yes. The last two digits of the X/Y values are centered on (50,50) at the main level entrance, and then go from there (values smaller than 50 go west/north, and larger values go east/south). Observe the larger portion of the Y value is identical to the LevelID. It's there for historical reasons.

Note, however, that the entrance isn't always centered on (50,50) - if the architect changes the location of the main entrance, the old entrance room coordinates are preserved.

Yeah, the correct way to do what you want involves getting the list of hold entrances, taking the ones with the main-level-entrance flag set, and doing differences of RoomX and RoomY.

But the hold entrance list is frustratingly unavailable in the "export text" file.

If you have access to the hold itself, try adding a scroll in the level to use as a reference point - if you put in in the entrance room, you should be able to use that as your reference point (pick something you can Ctrl-F easily)
