Opening and saving designs
This chapter explains how to open designs (SmartRoute only reads Layout Plus
.MAX files), how to save them using the Save As and Backup Interval commands,
and how to close a design and exit SmartRoute.
Opening a design
You open Layout Plus .MAX files in SmartRoute using the Open command.
To open a design
1
From the File menu, choose Open. The Open Design File dialog box displays.
2
Locate and select a .MAX design file.
3
Choose the OK button.
6 Tip
The files that you have opened most recently are listed at the bottom of the
File menu. You can select files from this list to open them. This is the fastest way
to open designs that you have worked on recently.
