- Additional simple graphic file formats that Arbortext claims to support include: CALS, G4, IslandDraw, PCX, Sun Icon, Sun Raster, WMF, and X11-Bitmap.
- Requires Arbortext IsoView.
- CGM and TIF do not work natively in SDL LiveContent S1000D 5.5/5.6 on Linux. The plug-ins needed to view these formats in a browser on Windows (for example, IsoView) do not work on Linux.
- Graphics support in SDL LiveContent S1000D is browser-dependent: Internet Explorer supports the most formats, Firefox fewer, and iPad/Safari the fewest.
