Opening a Project

Once you have created a project in Capture, all library and schematic information defined therein, as well as any other included files, is recognized as being part of that project. When you open the project, all such data is automatically associated with the project.

To open an existing project
  1. From the File menu, choose the Open command. A standard Open dialog box appears.
  2. If the project you want to open is not listed in the File name text box, do one or more of the following:
    1. In the Look in drop-down list, select a new drive or directory.
    2. In the File name text box, enter a portion of the file name—you can use the standard "*" and "?" wildcard characters.
    3. Select the project or type the name in the File name text box, then click OK. 
      The project opens in a project manager window.
