Parasolid X_T & X_B Files: Viewer Options & Limits

Parasolid viewer is not available in this release. Read the format notes and ask your sender for a self-contained STEP file.

Not available in this release

This format or conversion is not supported. Ask the sender to export a self-contained STEP file, then inspect it with the STEP viewer.

Before you use the result

Know what you are looking at.

X_T and X_B are Parasolid exchange files. Identify the file version and loading scope before deciding whether to inspect it directly or create a STEP output.

Confirm the reader version

A format name alone does not establish compatibility with every release. Identify the input version when possible and retain the original file for repeatable troubleshooting.

Do not add conversions unnecessarily

If the recipient can use the agreed Parasolid artifact directly, a second format conversion may add no value. When a STEP output is needed, record the source revision and verify the result in the receiving workflow.

Keep imported data and calculated data distinct

A model can expose geometry and saved attributes through different paths. Units, scope and calculation prerequisites still need explicit checks before estimating mass or approving an export.

Questions about this task

Know the limits.

Which files can I process?

Supported inputs are STEP/STP, IGES/IGS, STL, OBJ, 3MF, static GLB/GLTF, bounded ZIP packages and DWG 2D previews. Capabilities depend on format. Native CAD formats and downloadable model conversion are unavailable.

Are files uploaded?

Yes. Selecting or dropping files uploads and processes them immediately in every tool. Files are processed temporarily on this server. The workspace displays the configured retention time. Delete in the file menu permanently removes your files; closing a view does not.

Do I need an account?

No. Your temporary workspace uses a browser session cookie. There is no account, subscription or permanent file library.

How are properties calculated?

STEP/IGES use B-Rep geometry; mesh files use approximate triangle properties and require closed consistent meshes for volume. DWG is a 2D preview without physical properties. STL/OBJ coordinates assume mm. Mass uses your chosen density.
