How to open XMT_BIN file?

An often recurring problem with Parasolid Document Binary Format is that XMT_BIN is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open XMT_BIN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMT_BIN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Autodesk Inventor

The first step is to check if the computer has the Autodesk Inventor program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Autodesk Inventor in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support XMT_BIN files.

Step 2. Create association of Autodesk Inventor with XMT_BIN files

If, despite the installed application, the XMT_BIN file does not start in the Autodesk Inventor application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XMT_BIN file with the Autodesk Inventor program.

Step 3. Update Autodesk Inventor to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Autodesk Inventor program, it is possible that Parasolid Document Binary Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Autodesk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMT_BIN file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XMT_BIN file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XMT_BIN file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected XMT_BIN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of XMT_BIN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XMT_BIN file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XMT_BIN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move XMT_BIN to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the XMT_BIN file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
