Importing non Windchill/PTC files into Windchill for rev control

  We imported non-PTC files into a workspace and checked them into WindChill. We can check-out the file. How do we load the files into the native application and save back to the workspace so that a check-in action to WindChill would index the file version?

What kind of non-PTC files?

Windchill supports Microsoft Office files and other CAD formats, NX, CATIA, AutoCAD, etc.

Specifically these are 3d Scan files from Leica Cyclone, with the .IMP extension.
