Opening a Single Document
You can open a document (a drawing or model file) in any folder
in your system with the function File > Open > Open
File. When you select this function, the Open dialog box will
be displayed. The document to be opened can be a Vertex document or
a file of some other supported type, for example a dwg, dxf, sat or
a tif file. The document opens in a new drawing or model
window.
- Do one of the following:
- Select File > Open > Open File from the menu
bar.
- Select
Open > 
Open
File from the toolbar.
- Select the folder from the Look in list.
- Select the file type from the Files of type list. Vertex
document is the default file type.
- Select a file in the folder.
- Click the Open button.
Note
- When the Advanced 3D Modeling add-on feature is available to
you, and you open a model created using old modeling functions, the
software will automatically convert into an assembly which is
compatible with the new modeler.
- If you selected a file format other than a Vertex document, a
dialog box opens where you can select an appropriate file
conversion setup.
- Use the function File > Open Drawing-Model Pair to
open drawing and model files of the active project, or open them
from the project document browser.
- The default folder is the folder of the active project. You can
select another folder with the common Windows dialog box functions,
or from the Directory list. Click the Go button to
activate the selected folder.
- You can preview the drawings or models which are saved in the
folder. Select a file and click the View button.
- As a default, the title bar of a working window displays the
file name with full path. If you want the title bar to display only
the file name without the path, add the following keyword to the
../user/SETUP file:
set.show.dirinheader= 0
