Importer User Guide

Note: You can import data from various formats directly from XStudio's GUI.
Please refer to the dedicated tutorial to know how to import data to XStudio.

In addition, XStudio comes with a standalone importer called XImporter that you can run through the command line on any computer.
  • On Windows platforms, you can find it in the xstudio folder. The executable is named ximporter.exe
  • On MacOSX and linux platforms, the executable script is named ximporter.sh

Goal

XImporter is aimed at being called essentially programmatically.
