Prescription shapefiles can only be used with monitors that are version V30 to V36 If your monitor is below V30 or above V36, that you will need to use a CN1 folder for prescriptions. This guide will walk through that process: [**Format Rx for Pro 700 - CN1 Export**](https://scribehow.com/shared/Format_Rx_for_Pro_700__CN1_Export__N2Gjj5v5TcawSOZXzEavyA)

To check if shapefile import is available on your Pro 700, go to the "Diagnostics" page from the home screen and look at your "Framework" version

Or you can check by going to the "Data Management" page from the home screen and if you see an "Import2" tab on the bottom, the monitor is capable of shapefile import

Once you've verified your monitor is capable of accepting shapefiles, we'll get the prescription shapefiles ready. This simply involves moving the shapefiles into folder named "Shapefile"

Pay close attention to the name of the folder - "Shapefile" **must** be spelled with a capital "S" and do not put an "s" at the end of the word

Navigate to the folder that has the prescription shapefiles

Click "Select all"

Click "Cut"

Click "New folder"

Name the folder "Shapefile" and open it by double-clicking

Click "Paste"

Navigate back to the original folder we started in

Insert a USB drive into the computer

With the "Shapefile" folder selected, click "Copy"

Open the USB drive you plugged in by clicking on it on the left panel The name of the device might vary, yours may be called "Removable Disk"

Click "Paste"

Now the "Shapefile" folder with all the prescription shapefiles is on the USB drive and ready for the monitor
