How to get a project to recognize a .ldfx file taken off a tape.

Description:
I have a 2D loading definition with 100's of lines that is on tape. I created a
new project and want to get that project to recognize that loading definition.
The name of the loading definition file is all.ldfx.        

Solution:
Create a dummy definition in the current project with the same name as the archived file.

1.) DataManager > Load Seismic > Save as..... > enter file name of archived  
    file, without .ldfx extension.

2.) Exit Load Seismic and DataManager

2.) Restore file from tape and copy over the top of dummmy .ldfx file.

3.) Reenter DataManager and Load Seismic.

4.) Select loading definition - it will now contain data from archived file.

Another option :

1.) Get the specific loading definition file off the tape. It should have an
    .ldfx extension.

2.) Copy it to the Project DSL of the project you want to recognize it.

3.) Go to IES Data Management > ADD data to project > Add Data in IES format 

4.) Recover a SINGLE IES data object and type in the full path and the file name
    of the ldfx file, then EXIT all the way out of IES Data Management.
