Importing Files

The Import command (keyboard shortcut CTRL+1 [one]) lets you import graphic and text files into Designer. Designer can import the file types listed in the following table. Due to the large amount of file types Designer supports, the file types are divided into two sections: All Supported Files 1 and All Supported Files 2. If the file type you want is not displayed, select either All Supported Files 1 or 2 to display that file type.
