Convert STP to X_T

File Extension STP
Full Name ISO-10303 STEP Product Data Format

The extension .stp refers to files of the type Step 3D CAD files. These are the proprietary files created by the graphics and modeling software, Step 3d which is used for CAD (computer aided design) purposes.

File Extension X_T
Full Name Parasolid File Format

Files with the .X_T extension contain information concerning 3D CAD models – their geometry, topology, and color, written in text format. This type of encoding ensures easy importing of the file across a range of CAD modelling applications. The same data, written in binary form, is contained in .X_B files.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "STP") to another (referred to as "X_T"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, STP file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format STP to format X_T becomes essential.

So, how can we perform STP to X_T file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format STP and transforming it into format X_T. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of STP to X_T converters.

Conversion from STP to X_T

How to convert the STP file to X_T?

If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of STP to X_T. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the STP file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file STP, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the STP file to the application
  • Select the output format of the X_T file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file X_T on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted X_T file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
