SMS provides multiple options for importing files. There are three general methods for importing files. There are also a few files types that require specific import procedures.
General File Import
The general import procedures are:
Open Command
The Open' command in the File menu can be used to open most file types. If SMS doesn't recognize the file type or needs clarification on how to import the file, an import dialog may appear.
Drag and Drop
A user can drag any SMS supported file from a Windows Explorer to the main window in SMS and it will open, or initiate the specific Import dialog such as DEMs, or shapefiles.

Double-clicking an an SMS project file will open the file in SMS. If SMS is not running, SMS will start and the project file will be opened once SMS is running.
