  1. Requires Arbortext IsoView.
  2. Requires Arbortext Creo View.
  3. Requires Arbortext IsoDraw.
  4. Graphics support in LiveContent S1000D is browser-dependent: Internet Explorer supports the most formats, Firefox fewer, and iPad/Safari the fewest.
  5. CGM and TIF do not work natively in SDL LiveContent S1000D on Linux. The plug-ins needed to view these formats in a browser on Windows (for example, IsoView) do not work on Linux.
