The Vectorworks program can import 3D Parasolid X_T objects, including NURBS curves, NURBS surfaces, and solids; solids are imported as generic solids.
To import a Parasolid X_T file:
1. Select File > Import > Import Parasolid X_T.
The Import Parasolid X_T File dialog box opens.
2. Select the file to import, and click Open.
Alternatively, click the file to import and drag it into a window where a Vectorworks document is open.
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:
1. If 3D objects from only one layer should be exported, make that layer active. If only selected objects should be exported, select the objects.
2. Select File > Export > Export Parasolid X_T (3D only).
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.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
3. Click OK.
4. Specify the export file name and destination, and then click Save.
