A quick sanity check for an XMT_TXTQUO file helps you verify early that it’s probably a Parasolid transmit CAD file, beginning with context clues from engineering or CAD-related senders, then reviewing Windows Properties for size indicators, and if desired, opening it in a plain text viewer to look for structured text associated with transmit forms, being careful not to save or let any program modify the file.

If the file looks like nonsense symbols, that can simply show it’s a binary format, and the correct workflow is still to try importing it into a Parasolid-compatible CAD application; if you want a technical but safe preview, PowerShell can display first-line text or hex bytes, and when CAD software filters by extension, duplicating and renaming the copy to .x_t makes it visible in the Open dialog without altering the original contents.

XMT_TXTQUO acts as a Parasolid “transmit-text” exchange file, meaning it’s a way to package 3D CAD geometry for transfer between tools that read Parasolid data; in practice it belongs to the same family as .X_T (and the binary .X_B / XMT_BIN), with many systems treating XMT_TXTQUO as just another label for Parasolid’s text-transmit format, which is why it appears alongside X_T under the MIME type `model/vnd.parasolid.transmit-text`, essentially indicating a Parasolid text model.

The reason the extension seems unconventional is that some pipelines prefer multi-part identifiers rather than `.x_t`, using formats like `XMT_TXT…` to signal “Parasolid transmit” and “text,” with the trailing portion (e.g., QUO) acting only as a tool-specific variant, not something you must interpret, and since the file is still Parasolid text transmit data, the correct procedure is to load it into a Parasolid-capable CAD tool, resorting to a `.x_t` rename on a copy if the software filters it out.

Opening an XMT_TXTQUO file basically requires using it as a Parasolid transmit-text model and loading it in software that supports Parasolid, like SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, or Siemens NX, by using File → Open/Import and enabling Parasolid or All files so it can convert the B-Rep into a usable part; because some CAD programs hide unfamiliar extensions, the reliable workaround is copying the file, renaming the copy to .x_t, and opening that renamed file, which doesn’t modify the contents.

If you lack full CAD capabilities or simply want to view or convert the model, a CAD translator/viewer offers the easiest workflow: import the file and export it as STEP (.stp/.step), a universally recognized CAD format; if the file still can’t be opened, it’s commonly because it’s actually binary Parasolid, incomplete/corrupt, or tied to companion files, so requesting a STEP export or checking what software created it is the best way forward.
