Sub-Menu: Import File [File menu (Startup) or File menu (Graphics)]

This offers a selection of file types to import, including CCDC FDAT, SHELX-93, CIF, DBWS/LHPM Rietveld, ICSD, ORTEP, XTLVIEW, VIBRAT, PDB, RIETAN, GSAS, AM MINERAL, FULLPROF, Free-Form, Ravel ATOMS, WIEN2K, IZA(zeolites), GAUSSIAN, and ADF.

The boundary option in most cases can either be Default Unit Cell, suboption as selected with the Default radio button, or Locate Molecules in Crystal.

Multiple occupancies are not permitted in ATOMS, and when more than one atom is found to be in the same position (same fractional x, y and z coordinates) the second and subsequent occurences will be deleted.

There is a limit of 500 input atoms in most cases.

Depending on the format, there may be many sources of error in importing files. Open the file with a word processor and check the symmetry and atom list in ATOMS against the file contents.
