What is X file?
The.X file format is a 3D model format used for storing and handling three-dimensional meshes, animations, and scene graphs created with DirectX. X files are part of the Microsoft DirectX 3D File Format toolset that allows the user to store complex 3D models. X files are commonly used for video game models, but can also be used for a variety of other 3d applications. Technical Details The X file format consists of two sections. [ ⏩ ] X file extension
What is STP file?
The STP (STEP 3D CAD File) is a file extension typically used in three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) programs related to 3D. The STP, or Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data, was first introduced by ISO 10303-21 and provides users with the ability to share 3D objects. In addition to the STP (STEP 3D CAD File), the same ISO 10303-21 standard also includes file extensions such as .IGS, .IAM, and .XLTRT. [ ⏩ ] STP file extension
How to convert the file from X to STP?
To successfully convert the X file to STP, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.X). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case STP (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than STP).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. X to STP. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting X files to STP files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension STP, while before this step we had the X file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new STP file, or not.
