How do I load a downloaded Ride File into iMagic or Fortius

 
The iMagic and Fortius software from Tacx both include a tool called Analyzer.  This tool is the best and safest way to ensure ride files are located in the correct place for the software to recognise and make them available to select as Courses or Opponents.  To import a ride file into iMagic or Fortius follow these steps.
   
* Download the required ride file and save it a folder on your computer (e.g. C:IMDownloads)
* Launch iMagic or Fortius
* From the initial menu screen select Analyzer to launch the tool
* From the Analyzer menu bar select File, Import
* Using the tree view on the right side of the Import tool, locate the folder containing the downloaded ride files.  Valid files in the folder will be listed in the table of the Import tool.
* Select the file to be imported from the table (use Ctrl or Shift to select multiple files)
* Click on the Save button above the tree view in the Import tool
* It may appear that nothing has happened, but the selected files will have been copied to the correct location/s
* Close Analyzer to return to iMagic or Fortius
* Verify the Course has been imported by browsing the list of Terrains/Courses to locate and select it.
* Verify at least one Ride for the Course has been imported by browsing the list of Opponents available when the Course is selected.
* If using Fortius, the Analyser will put any file into the right place. If using IMAGIC Green Analyser, it will not recognise the fortius terrain files.
