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.
File Extension | SAT |
Full Name | 3D ACIS Model Format |
Files with the .SAT extension contain a three-dimensional geometric model saved in the form of an ASCII text file in accordance with Spatial’s ACIS solid modeling standard.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "X_T") to another (referred to as "SAT"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, X_T 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 X_T to format SAT becomes essential.
So, how can we perform X_T to SAT 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 X_T and transforming it into format SAT. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of X_T to SAT converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of X_T to SAT. 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 X_T file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
