- Requires Arbortext IsoView.

- Graphics support in LiveContent S1000D is browser-dependent: Internet Explorer supports the most formats, Firefox fewer, and iPad/Safari the fewest.
- TIF graphics do not work natively in LiveContent S1000D on Linux. The plugins needed to view these formats in a browser on Windows (for example, IsoView) do not work on Linux.
- When a DM is checked out in Contenta S1000D, any exported CGM graphics are converted to SVG for redlining and hotspotting, and converted back to CGM on checkin.
