What is X_B file?
The X_B file extension is a 3D CAD modeller part format, commonly used by Parasolid software. This file format is used to store data and changes related to the 3D models that have been designed and constructed using Parasolid CAD modelling tools. The X_B file format is based on and follows the currently accepted industry standards for universal 3D data exchange, such as the STEP-AP 203 Standard, as well as those used by the modelling packages from Siemens PLM Software.

What is DXF file?
The DXF (.DXF) file extension is a popular CAD drawing format developed by Autodesk and intended for enabling data interoperability between different applications. It was first introduced in 1982 as part of the AutoCAD 1.0 software package. The DXF format is based on the Drawing Interchange Format (DIF) and consists of ASCII strings organized into various types of records. [ ⏩ ] DXF file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from X_B to DXF?
To successfully convert the X_B file to DXF, 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_B). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DXF (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 DXF).
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_B to DXF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting X_B files to DXF 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 DXF, while before this step we had the X_B file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DXF file, or not.
