CrystalMaker can import over 40 different file formats, including the world's major crystallographic data files.
Unlike some third-party programs, CrystalMaker can auto-detect file formats - so you don't need to explicitly "import" a file. Instead, you can simply drag-and-drop the file into a window, or use the File > Open command.
Auto-file recognition does require the correct file extensions to be used; if you need to explicitly open a file in a particular format and are unsure as to the correct file extension, use the File > Open File with Format submenu.
The major formats currently supported by CrystalMaker X include:
