What is a(n) PXD file?
PXD (Pyrex Definition Format) is a plain text file format for data exchange within Pyrex software projects. It is used to store user interface definitions and data settings in order to provide access and control of a project's features and functionality. PXD files are frequently used to create menus, dialogs, special controls, rules, buttons, paths, and objects. They can also be used to define viewports and set zoom levels.

Aside from the structure of the XML tags, there are no specific rules on how each file should be formatted and the data within can vary greatly depending on the application's requirements.
