Working with Files

Creating a New Display (.rtv) File

To create a new display, click the New button core_new_button.gif on the toolbar (or Ctrl-N). This will open a new file with assigned default properties, including background and model width and height.

Opening a Display (.rtv) File

To open a display, click the Open button core_open_button.gif on the toolbar (or Ctrl-0). From the Open dialog, either double-click on a file name or enter the file name of a specific display (the .rtv extension is not required) and click Open. The last four displays you've opened will be listed in the File menu.

Note: If your “Login” doesn't allow you to view a particular display, the display will not open when you select or enter the file name in the Open dialog.

Saving a Display (.rtv) File

To save a display, click the Save button core_save_button.gif on the toolbar (or Ctrl-S). If the display file is new or if it does not have write permission, the Save dialog will appear. Type in a name for the display file and click Save. Display files are saved with the .rtv extension, which is added automatically if you do not enter it.

Note: The following characters can be used in display file names:

        ASCII alpha-numeric (a-z, 0-9)

        . (dot)

        - (dash)

        _ (underbar)

        (space)

To save a display file under a different name, select File>Save As and enter a file name. File names may include spaces, however they are not recommended.

Printing a Display (.rtv) File

To print a display, select File>Print (or Ctrl-P)
