Working with the Packager User Interface › Import a PIF Package

Import a PIF Package

Importing a PIF package means that you are importing an already built PIF package (xxx@pif) or a PIF prototype file (xxx@prm).

When you are importing an already built PIF package, you must specify a target directory where you want the imported PIF package to be extracted.

The name of the imported PIF package appears in the Project pane of the Packager GUI, and you can modify the imported PIF product.

To import prototype files

1. Select Import from the File menu or right-click in the project pane and select Import from the context menu.

   The Choose a file dialog appears.

2. Browse for one or more prototype files (*.@prm) or search for all types.

   Alternatively, you can specify the names of the prototype files in the File Name input field.

   Note: Only valid PIF prototype files are accepted for import.

3. Click Open.

   The imported packages appear in the project pane.
