Export Parasolid X_T (3D only)

File > Export

The Export Parasolid X_T (3D only) command exports 3D objects to Parasolid .x_t format. Only 3D objects are exported. This is a convenient way of exchanging files with other applications that also use Parasolid as their modeling kernel, even when the other application’s Parasolid version is older.

To export a Parasolid X_T file:

If 3D objects from only one layer should be exported, make that layer active. If only selected objects should be exported, select the objects.

Select the command.

The Export Parasolid X-T Options dialog box opens. Select whether to export only selected objects from the active layer, all visible objects from the active layer, or all visible objects from all layers in the file.
