Convert DWF to X_T

Understanding DWF and X_T file formats

DWF (Design Web Format) is a secure file format developed by Autodesk for the efficient distribution and communication of rich design data. It is commonly used for sharing CAD drawings and models over the internet, allowing users to view, review, and print design data without needing the original design software.

X_T is a file format associated with Parasolid, a geometric modeling kernel used in many CAD applications. X_T files store 3D model data, including geometry, topology, and color information, and are widely used for exchanging 3D data between different CAD systems.

How to convert DWF to X_T

Converting a DWF file to an X_T file involves translating the design data into a format that can be used by Parasolid-based applications. This process typically requires specialized software capable of reading DWF files and exporting them as X_T files.

Best software for DWF to X_T conversion

One of the best software options for converting DWF to X_T is Autodesk Inventor. Autodesk Inventor can open DWF files and export them to various formats, including X_T. To perform the conversion, follow these steps:

• Open Autodesk Inventor and load your DWF file.
• Go to File → Export and select the desired format.
• Choose X_T as the export format and save the file.

Another option is Autodesk Fusion 360, which also supports DWF to X_T conversion. The process is similar, involving opening the DWF file and using the export function to save it as an X_T file.
