I received a few fig files created on a Mac, and can't open them on a PC (file is corrupt). I tried several versions of MATLAB and a Linux versions - no success. Any advice?
Thanks Danny

It could be a versions issue
what versions of MATLAB are you using on the PC and MAC respectively?
I have just imported *.fig files from MAC OSX 64 bit running MATLAB R2011b into Windows 7 64 running R2011b and it worked fine..

FIG files are actually MAT files. You can define different formats for MAT files in the preferences: -v6, -v7 and -v7.3. Modern Matlab versions should be able to read all types, but older version cannot read the modern -v7.3 style.
Another idea is, that the file are in fact corrupted...
