Open the file with the ASCET Product Family on Microsoft Windows. Use the archive or import function provided by ASCET rather than opening the file in a general XML editor, because the archive may contain ASCET-specific data.

If the file must be moved to another ASCET representation, use the appropriate archive, import, or export function in the ASCET Product Family. Converting it with a generic XML tool may not preserve the ASCET data.
