Open

The Open command (Ctrl+O), or Open macro , is used to read all files. Unlike previous versions of WMS where the Open command was used to open WMS native file types and the Import command was used to open non-native files, in version 7.0 all files are opened with the Open command where the file filter in the "Files of type:" drop down indicates the type of file to be opened.

While any file can be opened from any module, the extensions listed tend to relate primarily to the active module. For example when in the terrain module you will see the extensions for .tin and .dem, but they do not appear in the map and other modules.

If a project file is selected, all of the files listed in the project file will be read in.

The five most recently opened files are listed at that bottom of the File menu. Selecting a file from this list will reopen it.
