File Menu - Import Sub-Menu
iData 2 Datafile

If you have not yet imported all of your iData 2 datafiles and templates into iData 3, you may do so as follows:

         1. Select iData 2 Datafiles Folder... from the Import sub-menu, under the File menu. The following dialog will open.


         2. Click the Import iData 2 Files button. A progress dialog will open, showing how many files have been imported.


         3. When this dialog closes, the import process is complete.

This function imports datafiles from your iData 2 Datafile folder, and templates from your iData 2 Templates folder, and saves them to the corresponding iData 3 folders. Datafile names remain the same, except that the .idata file name extension used by iData 2 is changed to id3.

If your iData 2 folders contain any sub-folders, those will also be copied.

This function will not replace any files that already exist in your iData 3 folders.

If you later need to import individual iData 2 datafiles, select iData 2 Datafile... in the same menu. Since the template file format has not changed, you can simply drag templates into the iData 3 Templates folder. (There is also a function to export an iData 3 datafile as an iData 2 datafile.)
