What is an X_T file?

X_T files mostly belong to Parasolid by Siemens. An X_T file is a 3D product part model created with Parasolid solid modeling kernel. The contents of an X_T model include three-dimensional geometry, color information, and metadata, all of which are saved as text. X_T part model format was introduced as a replacement for XMT_TMT files. It is also the text version of an X_B file which contains a binary-encoded 3D part model. Computer-aided design programs such as NX, Inventor, and SolidWorks can use Parasolid to create, save, and transfer CAD data.

How to open X_T files

You need a suitable software like Parasolid to open an X_T 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 X_T file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a X_T file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert X_T files:

  1. Parasolid by Siemens
    See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. X_T files are often referred to as Parasolid cads because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
  2. CAD file by CST CAD Navigator
    Enables to open and convert different 2D/3D files, get their dimensions and create section views. The software is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.

X_T format details:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our evaluation of the X_T files looks like this:

The X_T file extension is very common and is primarily used by a single program. However, the following two file formats are common:

The remaining 1% of all X_T files are files with no common format. Often described as montaj, cover, front, product, design or mold. You can get all the details of your X_T file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .x_t file to view" above.
