File – Open

2 Select the file you want to load.

If you select an element file with an attached image and you have also checked the Preview box, the display area will show a preview im- age.

Note

It is not possible to select files of different formats.

In the case of scene files, only one file can be opened.

It is not possible to open scene files which have been saved using the Utility Software VI-S1.

3 Click the [Open] button.

The data of the selected file(s) will be loaded and displayed in the element view window.

When an element file is loaded:

The loaded data will be ready to be displayed in all windows. It will be displayed in the active window and the windows for which all the ele- ments are set to be displayed.

When the data is loaded for the first time after the software is started, it will be fully framed in all the windows including those that are hidden.

The names of the loaded elements will also ap- pear in the element list, indicating that the ele- ments have been selected (highlighted).

When a scene file is loaded:

The element list will show the names of the ele- ments contained in the scene, and the view infor- mation of each element will be loaded.

The state in effect when a scene file was saved can be restored. However, it cannot always be restored completely, for example, if elements in the file have been set not to be displayed.

To display files of a certain format only, select the desired format from the [File of type] pull-down menu.
