Importing single files

In Vector NTI, you can save a sequence in a file instead of in the database (see figure 6.6).

This will give you file with a .gb extension. This file can be easily imported into the CLC Workbench:

        Import (Image import) | select the file | Select

You don't have to import one file at a time. You can simply select a bunch of files or an entire folder, and the CLC Workbench will take care of the rest. Even if the files are in different formats.

You can also simply drag and drop the files into the Navigation Area of the CLC Workbench.

The Vector NTI import is a plug-in which is pre-installed in the Workbench. It can be uninstalled and updated using the plug-in manager.
