Importing from Binary Export Files

Import from a binary export file is only available for databases.

In the Component Manager, open the target database for the import.
Start the import with one of the following actions.
- In the File menu, select Import.
- Click the Import ( or ) button.
- Press <Ctrl> + <i>.
The Select Import File window opens.
In the Import File field, enter path and file name of the file you want to import manually or via the button.
Note
You can enter or select more than one file.
The file format does not have to be explicitly specified. It is identified by the file extension.
Click Options if you want to adjust the import options.
An additional Options field opens. It contains the same options as the Import node in the ASCET options window.
Set the import options.
Click OK to start the import.
The "Import" window lists the content of the file(s). If one of the objects already exists in the database/workspace (identical object ID), the window shows the item to be overwritten.
Select all items to be imported and click OK.
If you are importing existing objects, you are asked to confirm the overwriting of the existing database/workspace items.
Confirm the message with OK.
The selected items are now imported.
Finally, the imported items are listed in the Imported Items window. When you click an item in the Imported Items window, it is highlighted in the Component Manager.
