Read File
While the file is being opened, Arbortext IsoDraw automatically examines the content and begins converting it to its own data format.
* 
If Arbortext IsoDraw aborts the file import, this is because either the data format is unknown or the file is faulty. In the latter case, a log file may be generated which has the same name as the import file and the extension .log. This file is saved in the same folder as the source file. The log file contains information in text form as to why the file could not be loaded. Further information on what causes errors during loading can be found in the 3D Mode Tutorial.
When loading the file format, additional dialog boxes will appear (depending on the particular format) which allow you to control the data import process. The dialog boxes always open with the same settings that were used the last time the file format was opened.
