A quick sanity check for an XMT_TXTQUO file is a simple verification step to see if it’s likely a Parasolid exchange file, beginning with its origin—CAD-heavy sources such as project folders, shops, or designers strongly suggest 3D geometry—while Windows Properties may not identify it but can still provide file-size clues, and a careful look in a text editor may show readable structured text typical of transmit variants, as long as you avoid altering or saving the file.

If the content looks like gibberish, that usually indicates non-text data rather than something being wrong, and you should still attempt to import it into a Parasolid-aware CAD system; for a harmless deeper check, you can use PowerShell to print initial lines or view the first bytes in hex to confirm the nature of the data, and if a CAD tool hides the file in its Open dialog, copying and renaming it to .x_t can make it selectable without modifying the actual file.

XMT_TXTQUO is effectively a Parasolid transmit-text exchange file used for moving 3D geometry across Parasolid-compatible CAD systems, falling into the same category as .X_T (and binary types .X_B / XMT_BIN), with most applications treating it as the same Parasolid text-transmit concept, reflected by its grouping with X_T under the MIME type `model/vnd.parasolid.transmit-text`, which identifies it as a Parasolid text-based model.

The odd naming stems from some systems using compound extensions rather than `.x_t`, adopting formats like `XMT_TXT…` to denote "Parasolid transmit" and "text," with suffixes like QUO serving only as variant identifiers in that environment; functionally, it’s still Parasolid text transmit geometry, and you can import it into any Parasolid-capable tool, using the workaround of renaming a copy to `.

Opening an XMT_TXTQUO file is mostly about recognizing it as Parasolid transmit-text geometry and choosing a Parasolid-aware CAD tool such as SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, or NX, then importing it just like a .x_t via File → Open/Import and adjusting the dialog to Parasolid or All files; if the tool doesn’t display the file due to its unusual extension, duplicating and renaming the copy to .x_t allows it to be selected without changing the actual data.

If you lack full CAD capabilities or simply want to view or convert the model, a CAD translator/viewer is a hassle-free option: 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.
