style='font-size:12.0pt'>WINDOW 5/WINDOW6 imports Optics database, user
portion, not .usr files. So when you are done generating laminate, select
User Database from the toolbar (there is choice of Main db and User db). You
should be able to see your laminate that you generated (under Laminate
category). Then simply close Optics, open W5 or W6 and in Preferences,
under Optical Data tab, click on radio button "Optics 5 User Database and
make sure that it is UserGlazing.mdb under LBNL Shared subdir (this is all
deafult for OPTICS, so if you did not change path in OPTICS this should work,
otherwise you need to navigate to correct mdb file). Then close preferences,
go to Glass library and click on Import, select "IGDB or Optics User
Database" from the drop down menu under Format and click OK. If
everything is right, you will see your laminate that you created in OPTICS and
will be able to import it.<br>
