External (Data Interface) Formats
The Cimatron Explorer can be used to perform Data Interface import and export operations.
When opening a file you may select an external format file and then an expand button will appear next to the Type dropdown menu.
Clicking it opens the parameters options of the Import Dialog allowing you to control the import options.
Similarly, when using the Save As tool, the type dropdown menu allows you to select an external format to which to export the file, and again, the expand button opens the parameters options of the Export Dialog allowing you to control the export options.
Note that not all operations are available with this interface; namely, the ability to import and export multiple files by batch. For these operations, use the regular Data Interface Import and Export tools.
