1. To load a file, you can go to File >> Load and use the Import Part option. Alternatively, you can go to the Quick Access bar, and click on Import part. The keyboard shortcut CTRL+L will also open the import window.
2. In the import window, specify the placement option: As Is, Default Position, Aside of Others, and Automatic Placement. You can automatically fix your files during import by enabling Autofix during import.
3. If you’re importing an STL file, just click on Open. If you’re importing a CAD file, an additional window will pop up, giving you options for CAD-to-STL conversion. When the options are correct, click on OK. The CAD file will be converted to an STL file, and opened in Materialise Magics.
