Convert DAE to X_T

Understanding dae and x_t file formats

DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) files are 3D model files based on the COLLADA (Collaborative Design Activity) standard. They are widely used for exchanging digital assets between various graphics software and game engines, supporting geometry, textures, lighting, and animation data.

X_T files are Parasolid Model Part files, a proprietary format developed by Siemens PLM Software. X_T files store precise 3D CAD data, including solid and surface geometry, and are commonly used in engineering, manufacturing, and CAD applications for interoperability and high-fidelity data exchange.

How to convert dae to x_t

Converting a DAE file to X_T format requires specialized 3D CAD software or dedicated file converters that support both formats. The conversion process typically involves importing the DAE file and exporting it as an X_T file.

Recommended software for dae to x_t conversion

• Autodesk Fusion 360: Import your DAE file using File → Open, then export as X_T via File → Export → Parasolid (.x_t).
• Siemens NX: Open the DAE file and use File → Export → Parasolid to save as X_T.
• Okino PolyTrans: A professional 3D conversion tool that supports both DAE and X_T formats for seamless conversion.

Online converters

There are limited online converters for DAE to X_T due to the complexity and proprietary nature of the X_T format. For best results and data integrity, use professional CAD software as listed above.

Tips for successful conversion

• Ensure your DAE file is well-formed and contains only supported geometry and data.
• Check for compatibility between the source and target software to avoid data loss.
• After conversion, verify the X_T file in a CAD viewer to ensure all geometry and features are intact.
